Rio Ave, on the other hand, who are currently slotted 10th on the Primeira Liga table, suffered from a narrow 0-1 loss to Famlicao in their last match. With five wins, seven draws, and eight losses this season, the visitors have collected just 22 points from 20 games so far. Mário Silva's men will be itching to get back to winning ways. However, they face a difficult challenge in Benfica and will have to play their A-game if they wish to collect any points and gather a positive result for themselves.
