Prediction: 1-1
Famalicao
Saturday’s football game at Estadio Municipal de Arouca pits together Arouca and Famalicao, the two mid-table sides. Arouca aim to bounce back from a 2-1 loss to Braga, but bear in mind that they are on a four-game winless run at home ground. Tiago Esgaio limped off with injury in the last league match, with Alex Pinto likely to step up, while Nino Galovic remains in the recovery room.
Famalicao, on the other hand, aim to build on a thrilling 4-1 win over AFS, but given their difficulties on the road, we do not believe that they are capable of collecting more than one point from Saturday’s showdown. With no fresh injury worries to report, Hugo Oliveira is unlikely to make changes to the team that outplayed AFS in the last league match. Oliveira should stick to the 4-2-3-1 formation.
