Rio Ave play host to Farense for the last round of a League Cup group also containing Sporting Lisbon and Maritimo. While both of these sides have three points, it seems hard for Sporting to lose the progression spot at the moment. Rio Ave discovered that in midweek first hand, when they fell to a 2-0 defeat against the Lisbon side. The loss interrupted a three game winning streak for the hosts, whose last six games have now failed to see both teams score. They have been efficient at home lately on the upside, winning three of their last four games and keeping clean sheets in all of them. Rio Ave’s tradition when hosting Farense is also good, with their tally being three wins and two draws in five games. 

With regards to Farense, they beat Maritimo in midweek to give themselves a few glimmers of hope for progression to the next round. They have now won four of their last seven games, keeping clean sheets in three of those victories. On the attacking side, they seem to have no problems this season, finding the net with relative ease, scoring in nineteen of their twenty-one matchups. The visitors have also been positive in their recent away games as well. While they have lost three of their last four on the road, these are their only defeats in eleven games, managing to win six in the process. Farense have also managed to score in three of their previous five visits to Rio Ave.
