Win for Sporting Braga
The recent form of Braga does not make for a good reading with three losses in the recent four games. However, Arouca may not be the team to exploit this poor form considering that they regularly struggle against Braga. Braga have avoided a defeat against Arouca since 2014. Despite the recent poor form and playing away from home, the visitors should pick up three points.

Arouca
Arouca are also staring at the face of relegation despite being closer to the mid-table places. This is because their lead over the bottom three places is not very substantial. There have also been very few opportunities for Arouca to improve form. Fernando Castro and José Manuel Velázquez are out due to injury, while Leandro Silva and Eboue Kouassi are suspended.
