📊 Form Guide
Moreirense
LWLWDL
Moreirense will be hoping to return to winning ways here following the 1-0 Primeira Liga loss in their previous game against Boavista.
In that match, Moreirense managed 65% possession and 8 attempts at goal with 3 on target. For their opponents, Boavista got 10 shots at goal with 3 of them on target. Miguel Reisinho (82') scored for Boavista.
A recurring characteristic of more recent Moreirense games is the number of results with a nil in them.
From their prior 6 matches before this one, in as many as 6 of them a wager on both teams scoring would have been a loser. That kind of trend isn’t assured to follow through into this game, of course.
Arouca
WWLWWL
Since being defeated in their last game at the hands of Sporting Lisbon in Primeira Liga competition, Arouca and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.
In that game, Arouca had 62% possession and 12 shots at goal with 2 of them on target. Sporting CP had 11 shots at goal with 5 of them on target. Viktor Gyökeres (19'), Geny Catamo (91') and Morten Hjulmand (95') scored for Sporting Lisbon.
The stats don’t lie, and Arouca have been scored against in 6 of their last 6 matches, seeing their opponents hit 10 goals overall. In defence, Arouca seem to have a bit of a soft underbelly.
🤜🤛 Head to head
A glance at their prior head-to-head meetings stretching back to 17/01/2016 shows us that Moreirense have won 3 of these and Arouca 1, with the number of drawn matches being 2.
A sum of 18 goals were scored between the two sides throughout the course of those matches, with 9 of them for Os verdes e brancos and 9 created by Arouca. This gives an average number of goals per game equal to 3.

In that match, Arouca had 60% possession and 16 attempts at goal with 3 on target.
For their opponents, Moreirense had 12 shots on goal with 5 of them on target. Marcelo (39') was the scorer.

📰 Team News: Moreirense
Hernâni (unknown injury), Alhassane Sylla (unknown injury) and Fabiano (unknown injury) aren’t available for Moreirense boss Rui Borges.
In our view, Os verdes e brancos will probably go for a 4-2-3-1 formation for this game, utilising Kewin, Fabiano Silva, Carlos Ponck, Maracas, Godfried Frimpong, Andre Castro, Goncalo Franco, Madson, Lawrence Ofori, Joao Camacho and Luis Asue.
📰 Team News: Arouca
Thanks to a completely healthy squad to choose from, the Arouca boss Daniel Sousa has no fitness concerns to speak of ahead of this match.
We believe Arouca might begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 system using I. De Arruabarrena, Tiago Esgaio, Nino Galovic, Francisco Montero, Weverson, Eboue Kouassi, Pedro Santos, Jason, Cristo Gonzalez, Morlaye Sylla and Rafa Mujica.
💡 Prediction
Looking at these two, we feel that Arouca and Moreirense may well both score, with little between these two teams.
Will be interesting to see how this one goes, with a good chance of a draw. With that in mind, we reckon that it will be a very close game with a 1-1 score when the referee blows the full-time whistle.
Our expert partners are tipping over 1.5 goals for this match. Check out their VIP predictions here.
