Team News

Portimonense
Arouca
  • Other than Tamble, Paulo Sérgio will have a full squad to pick from.
  • Carlinhos will be boosted after a standout performance against Boavista.
  • Rafael Fernandes will probably be a Lille player by the time this match starts, which opens the Starting XI door to Javi Montero.
  • Pedro Santos is back available after serving a match ban which will boost FC Arouca' midfield options.

Prediction

  • Portimonense SC got an amazing 4-1 victory over Boavista at Estádio do Bessa last time around, which kept them in a comfortable position at the league table. However, they've been struggling at home lately winning just once in the last 5 matches.
  • FC Arouca also had a wonderful weekend as they brushed aside FC Vizela with a 5-0 win in a match where their offensive power was well illustrated, with Mujica and Cristo González scoring a brace.
  • Both sides are enjoying a delightful offensive moment which should give us an entertaining match, with chances at both ends. At the end of the day, however, they should cancel each out.
