- Alverca have won 6, tied 4 and lost 5 of their 15 home matches in the Primeira Liga 2025-2026 season.
- Alverca have won two, tied one and lost two of their last five league matches and their form at home has been identical - one win and one defeat.
- Custodio’s Alverca are a deep, narrow, and well-disciplined side, who have been at their best when compact and looking to hit opponents on the counterattack.

Arouca (away)
- Arouca have won 4, tied 2 and lost 9 of their 15 away matches in the Primeira Liga 2025-2026.
- Arouca have fared better of late, winning three of their last five, but their away form has been slightly worse with one win and a defeat in their previous two.
- Arouca play a similar system to Alverca, but favour the wings more, and with the medium block they put out on the field they will look to stretch the opponent wide and overload them with numbers.
