Historically, matches between Guimaraes and SC Farense have been closely contested.
Rio Ave, on the other hand, has struggled recently, with three losses, one win, and one draw in their last five games across all competitions, including a defeat in Taca de Portugal against Sporting CP. They face Estrela in their next league match on May 4th. Rio Ave's recent form is concerning, and they will need to improve their attacking output.

Looking at the historical head-to-head record between Guimaraes and Rio Ave, matches have often been competitive, with a mix of results.
