Prediction: 1-1
Famalicao
Estadio Municipal de Arouca will host Friday’s football game between Arouca and Famalicao, the two teams who are almost level on points in the Primeira Liga standings. Following four consecutive league wins, Daniel Sousa’s men suffered a 1-0 loss to Casa Pia at the weekend, but despite the defeat they are still sitting in 7th place in the standings. David Simao limped off with injury in the last league fixture, with Oriol Busquets being ready to step up.
The visitors, on the other hand, desperately needed a win against Rio Ave and they managed to get one, with the team putting an end to their three-game winless run. The two sides, though, seem to be evenly matched at the moment and we predict that they are going to share the spoils in the round 23 clash. A man to keep an eye on in the away team will be Venezuela forward Jhonder Cadiz, who scored a brace at the weekend.
