Our prediction for this Portugal Primeira Liga match:
Estadio Municipal de Arouca pits together Arouca and Santa Clara, the two teams who sit in the opposite halves of the table. Arouca sit just above the relegation zone, while Santa Clara occupy 8th place in the standings ahead of Matchday 30. David Simao is back from suspension, while both Ruiz and Bruno Marques are pushing for a start. Os Acoreanos, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-0 win over Estoril.
Santa Clara continue to impress on home soil, but given their poor away record, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the relegation-threatened hosts. Costinha remains in the recovery room, but he should be the only absentee in the away side. In the first half of the season Santa Clara defeated Arouca 2-1, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge.
