Arouca to win

There have been defeats in four out of the last five away matches for Portimonense, who have also suffered back-to-back losses in the recent trips to the Estadio Municipal de Arouca.

Total goals under 2.5

Portimonense have been terrible when it comes to getting goals away from home. In the seven away matches, the team has only registered six goals. Arouca are yet to put together a solid defence a form at home with the team conceding more goals (12) than they have scored (11) at home this season.

Both teams to score – no

Arouca have struggled at the back even at home. The club might have kept a clean sheet against Estoril in the last match, but they are unlikely to come up with a significant improvement on this front. Portimonense, though, have been the worst scoring team in the Portuguese Primeira Liga by some margin over the last few weeks. In the last four games in all competitions, Portimonense have only come up with one goal.

Arouca vs Portimonense: Match Preview and Team News

Arouca

Arouca head into the match with wins over Sporting CP and Estoril in the last five home games. This run should keep the team in a good spot. The recent victory over Estoril has put the team in a very good spot with regards to qualifying for Europe, but such an objective has taken a big hit with the loss to Chaves. Coach Armando Evangelista comes into the picture without any injuries in the squad and he has never lost to Portimonense in his coaching days.

Portimonense

Portimonense manager Paulo Sergio remains under the scanner after failing to get the club away from the relegation trouble. The recent form of the team has taken a substantial blow and the performance against Santa Clara is unlikely to give them any kind of confidence coming into the game. Carlinhos and Pedro Sa are out due to injuries.
