Prediction: 1-0
Santa Clara
Following a 1-1 draw with Gil Vicente, Arouca will look to move closer to the Conference League berth when they take on Santa Clara on Saturday. Arouca produced a fine performance in a 1-1 draw with Gil Vicente, and it is no wonder the bookies see them as favourites to beat Santa Clara in front of home fans. Top scorer Oday Dabbagh should continue to lead the line for the hosts, while midfielder Vitinho remains on the sidelines with injury.
Os Acoreanos, on the other hand, sit in the relegation zone with only 15 points in their pocket, meaning that this match is of big importance for the visiting team. Santa Clara, though, have been struggling on the travels on the road, and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Arouca’s party at Estadio Municipal. The good news for the visitors is that both Adriano Firmino and Matheus Babi are back from suspensions.
