Team News

Farense
Arouca
  • Marco Matias got injured and won't feature until late October, which paves the way for Merghem to start out wide.
  • Ricardo Velho put in a memorable display last weekend against FC Porto and should be full of beans here.
  • With a nose injury, Matías Rocha is unavailable, which means that Fontán and Lamba wil llikely start at the heart of the defense.
  • Ivo Rodrigues and Sylla and will be in competition to start out wide - the Guinean might get the nod this time around.

Prediction

  • Farense have had a forgettable start to the season, losing all five of their matches so far. In their last match, despite losing to FC Porto by the narrowest of margins, they allowed the Dragons too many chances and only Ricardo Velho prevented a heavy defeat.
  • Arouca were understandably beaten by a Sporting side in great form last time out and head into Sunday on the back of a couple of consecutive defeats. The team has struggled offensively, scoring just twice in its first five games of the season.
  • Arouca's defensive troubles and their number of injuries combined with the home factor could help Farense get their first win of the season, especially if Ricardo Velho is inspired.
