The head‑to‑head history at this stadium, favours the home team, since in the last 7 head‑to‑heads they won 5, tied 1 and lost 1. Accordingly, in the last head‑to‑head played at this stadium, for the Taça de Portugal, on 07‑04‑2015, Sporting Braga won by (3‑0). Zé Luís (16' , 27' and 51' ) scored the goals of the match for Braga. Rio Ave registers significant differences between home and away results, so special attention is due to the home/away factor.

In this match, we expect Braga to chase another victory, this time against an opponent in a bas phase. Nikola Stojiljkovic and Rui Fonte compose the attacking front of the team: the first of them already scored 10 times. Into this match, the coach Paulo Fonseca won't count with Willy Boly due to suspension and Djavan who is injured.

In the penultimate match, they won in a home match against União Madeira, by (1‑0). In the last match, they lost in a home match against Belenenses, by (1‑2).
