Goal Statistics

FC Porto's defensive record is very strong, Francesco Baldini's men having conceded 1 or less in 7 consecutive Liga NOS games. An underwhelming PG rating of 1.2 for Rio Ave makes sense in this context.

FC Porto have been steady in front of goal of late, finding the net in 7 consecutive Liga NOS matches. Their PG of 1.5 against Rio Ave on Sunday suggests they're likely to extend that run.
