Rio Ave face a demanding stretch with three fixtures against top-flight opposition. The club will host Benfica before travelling to the same opponent in what amounts to a back-to-back against the Lisbon side. A visit to Tondela completes the run.
No completed matches are available to assess current form. Rio Ave's schedule remains entirely ahead of them across these three upcoming fixtures.
From matches covered on Scoresque, not the team's full history.
