📋 Team News: Estoril
João Carvalho (unknown injury), Xeka (Muscle injury) and Hélder Costa (Muscle injury) will not be taking part for Estoril boss Ian Cathro.
In all likelihood, Canarinhos should use a 4-3-3 formation for this one, beginning the first half with Joel Robles, Wagner Pina, Pedro Alvaro, Kevin Boma, Pedro Amaral, Vinicius Zanocelo, Jordan Holsgrove, Alejandro Orellana, Joao Carvalho, Alejandro Marques and Fabricio Garcia.
ℹ️ Team News: Arouca
Arouca boss Gonzalo García has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Pedro Moreira (unknown injury), Quaresma (unknown injury), Nino Galović (unknown injury), Matías Rocha (Nose injury), Uri Busquets (unknown injury), Eboue Kouassi (Knock) and Vitinho (unknown injury) will miss out on this game.
It’s our belief that Arouca might begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 system, going with Nico Mantl, Tiago Esgaio, Boris Popovic, Jose Fontan, Amadou Dante, David Simao, Taichi Fukui, Jason, Morlaye Sylla, Ivo Rodrigues and Henrique Araujo.
🧠 Prediction
It’s looking like Arouca and Estoril may well both score, with little between these two teams.
Let’s see what happens, but it could well be that we end up with scores level. We therefore think that it’s going to be a very close game with a 1-1 score after 90 minutes.
