Goal Statistics

A truly awful PG of just 0.9 should cause concerns for Rio Ave fans, as should a 5 Liga NOS matches run in which they have failed to score more than 1 goal.

Sporting Lisbon have been reliable in attack of late, scoring in 54 consecutive Liga NOS outings. Their PG of 1.9 against Rio Ave on Friday suggests that run is likely to continue.
