Betting on Futebol Clube de Arouca
Let’s kick off with Arouca, who has been rock solid this Primeira Liga season. Standing comfortably in fifth place, it’s secured a spot in the Europa Conference League qualifiers with a solid 41 points. It is currently tied with Vitaria Guimaraes, so its position is still up for grabs, with the only thing keeping it ahead being its goal difference, which stands at -2.
It has played 13 home games this season, winning 7, drawing 2, and losing 4. Its home goal average is pretty impressive too, with 1.46 goals scored and 1.23 conceded. However, there’s definitely room for improvement in its defense.
While Arouca has gone unbeaten in its last five games, securing some valuable victories against Vitoria Guimaraes, Casa Pia, and Famalicao, it’s also had some frustrating draws against teams like Pacos Ferreira and Boavista that it should have beaten easily.
Possible Lineup (3-5-2): Ignacio de Arruabarrena; Nino Galović, Mateus Quaresma, João Basso; David Simão, Alan Ruiz, Tiago Esgaio, Oriol Busquets, Morlaye Sylla; Rafa Mújica, Antony Alves.
Betting on Club Sport Maritimo
On the other hand, Maritimo is still stuck in the 16th spot of the standings, which guarantees it a spot in the relegation playoffs. With only 19 points, it is six points behind Estoril, the team right above it. Its situation is dire, and it must win at all costs to avoid the drop. Unfortunately, getting victories has been a tough challenge for Maritimo throughout the season.
The last five matchdays of the Primeira Liga have been rough for Maritimo, but there is a glimmer of hope. Despite three consecutive losses against much stronger teams like Gil Vicente, Benfica, and Casa Pia, the team managed to secure two wins, one of which was a significant 4-2 victory over Boavista.
Unfortunately, luck might not be on its side as it’ll be playing away from home, and it’s only managed to secure one win and two draws in 13 away matches, with an average of only 0.54 goals per game.
Possible Lineup (4-4-2): Marcelo Carné; Paulinho Mota, Zainadine Júnior, Moises Mosquera, Vitor Costa; Rafael Brito, Val, Félix Correia, Bruno Xadas; André Vidigal, Pablo Moreno.
JefeBet Prediction
Get ready for an intense showdown as Arouca takes on Maritimo. The visitors are facing an uphill battle and are clearly the underdogs in this match-up. It is lacking in both goal-scoring ability and overall skill, making it highly unlikely it’ll come out on top. While it may have improved its game recently, it’s still not enough to match Arouca’s level of play.
