The Vila-Condenses come to this round in ninth place, with 24 points, five more than the Tondela, who is 13th. Rio Ave returned to victories in the NOS League on Monday, three months later, after beating the Marítimo by 0-2 in Funchal. With this victory, the commanders of Daniel Ramos interrupted a series of ten games without winning, being able to face the next challenges in a more calm way.
