Team News

Arouca
AVS Futebol SAD
  • Yalçin was sent off against FC Porto and serves suspension. Jason should replace him upfront, playing as false 9.
  • Boris Popovic had a wonderful performance last weekend and will likely get the nod over Chico Lamba at the heart of the defense.
  • Piazón went off injured last weekend and won't feature here, which opens the Starting XI door to Aburjania.
  • On the other hand, Vasco Lopes is fully recovered and could start out wide here.

Prediction

  • After a very good first half, Arouca were unable to resist the numerical disadvantage (a sending-off at the end of the first 45 minutes) and went down 4-0 to FC Porto. An understandable result, given that they were facing a title contender in their own stadium.
  • AVS met a Farense side morale-boosted by the change of coach on last Monday and managed no more than a goalless draw at home. Vítor Campelos' men nevertheless played a good game and will be looking to build on that next Saturday.
  • The hosts have had problems in attack, scoring just 4 goals in 7 games. Playing against an opponent that has been solid in defence, it's expected that they might not manage to get more than a point on Saturday.
