📰 Team News: Arouca

There aren’t many selection issues, with just a single fitness concern for the Arouca gaffer Vasco Seabra to contend with from of an almost fully healthy group. Nino Galović (unknown injury) will miss out.

In our view, Arouca look set to kick off with a 4-2-3-1 system for this game featuring Joao Valido, Alex Pinto, Boris Popovic, Chico Lamba, Weverson, Morlaye Sylla, Pedro Santos, Miguel Puche, Jason, Brian Mansilla and Henrique Araujo.

📰 Team News: Boavista

We’re of the thinking that As Panteras seem most likely to utilise a 4-2-3-1 formation, going with Tomas Vaclik, Pedro Gomes, Rodrigo Abascal, Sidoine Fogning, Filipe Ferreira, Joel da Silva, Sebastian Perez, Miguel Reisinho, Abdoulay Diaby, Salvador Agra and Robert Bozenik.

⚡ Prediction

We feel that over the course of the game, Boavista may find it difficult to be putting a goal past this Arouca lineup who we think will likely get the vital goal that wins it.

That’s why our selection here is for a highly competitive game with a 1-0 advantage for Arouca when all is said and done.

Looking forward to this.
