AVS SAD faces immense pressure this Saturday in their home match against Rio Ave, still seeking their inaugural championship victory while battling a deepening relegation threat.
The team is now six points adrift from the second-to-last position, a gap that widened after Tondela secured a 1-0 win in Barcelos. This result has significantly complicated AVS SAD’s chances of remaining in the league.
Despite their own struggles, AVS SAD sees their opponent’s recent poor form as a chance to reverse their fortunes. Rio Ave arrives without a win in their last three league outings.
Coach João Pedro Sousa’s squad has consistently postponed a much-needed climb in the standings. This upcoming encounter is again being highlighted as the moment to begin that recovery.
The critical match is scheduled for Saturday at 6:00 PM local time.
