Arouca

Arouca won’t want a repeat of their last result here following a 2-1 Primeira Liga loss in their previous game against Braga.

It has been seldom in recent games where Arouca have kept a clean sheet. It will be a concern for them that Arouca have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, letting in 9 goals during that time. However, it remains to be seen if the trend will continue on in this next game or not.
A look at their previous results shows us that Arouca:
- haven't been beaten in the league by Famalicão in their last 2 matches.
