Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 1-1
Famalicao
Monday’s football game between Arouca and Famalicao will bring down the curtain on day 9 of the new Portugal Primeira Liga campaign. Os Arouquenses have been struggling in front of goal of late, with the team scoring no more than seven goals this season. The home side will try to end their five-game winless run, but this match will be anything but a walk in the park for the home team. Sema Velazquez has yet to recover from his knee injury.
Pedro Rui Silva’s troops, on the other hand, ended their three-game losing run thanks to an impressive 4-0 win over Boavista. The visiting team are likely to rely on their solid defence in Monday’s clash and we are positive that they will adopt a defence-minded approach against Arouca. Taking everything into account, a low-scoring affair is on the horizon. All Martin Aguirregabiria, Ivan Jaime and Diogo Lucas Queiros remain in the treatment room.
