Arouca
- Arouca have won 1 and lost 1 of their last 2 Primeira Liga home matches.
- Arouca, with Alfonso Trezza on eight goals in 26 games, are not as potent as Estoril but he has been their main goal threat this season.
- Arouca have won four, drawn three and lost six of their 13 home games in the Primeira Liga this term, averaging 1.38 goals per game scored and 1.92 conceded.
- Arouca have lost three of their last five with one win and one draw, the most recent being a 1-2 defeat at home to Benfica.
Estoril
- Estoril Praia’s away form has improved recently, with 1 win and 1 defeat from their last 2 trips.
- The visitors will look to continue their solid away form and push up the table with a win at Municipal de Arouca, where they were victorious 4-3 when they last met four months ago in the Primeira Liga 2025/2026.
- However, they have failed to win in their most recent two trips to Arouca, so we should not expect an easy afternoon for Ian Cathro’s side.
- Praia are a high-tempo side and prefer to play the ball with verticality in a 4-3-3 system that allows João Carvalho to be a link between the midfield and attack.
- Yanis Begraoui has been on fire for the Canaries with 17 goals in 27 Primeira Liga games this term and Felix Bacher is another threat with two goals in five games.
Head-to-Head
