Prediction: 1-1
Arouca
Parque Joaquim de Almeida Freitas will host Sunday’s football game between Moreirense and Arouca. Os Verdes e Brancos aim to bounce back from a 1-0 loss to Boavista and they are likely to leave their hearts on the field in the round 26 clash. Defender Alhassane Sylla is a long-term absentee, but there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
Daniel Sousa’s men, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-0 loss to Sporting CP. Arouca and Moreirense, though, seem to be evenly matched at the moment and we predict that they are going to share the spoils in Sunday’s match. Midfielder Matias Rocha remains in the recovery room, but he should be the only absentee in the away team. In the first half of the season Moreirense defeated Arouca 1-0 and yet another close encounter is on horizon.
Highlighted Team (Moreirense):
Moreirense are a Portuguese football club based in Moreira de Conegos. Founded on November 1, 1938, Os verdes e brancos welcome their rivals at Parque Moreira de Conegos Guimaraes, the venue which can hold up to 9,000 spectators.
Moreirense wear green and white shirts and white shorts when playing at home, whilst black and red are the dominant colours of their away kit. In the 2016/2017 season Os verdes e brancos did well to win the Taca da Liga trophy, with the team beating Braga 1-0 in the title game.
Caue scored the winner for Moreirense on the stroke of half time. Moreirense impressed in the 2018/2019 Primeira Liga season, finishing the process in sixth position in the standings. The club missed out on a place in the Europa League on goal difference to Vitoria de Guimaraes. Penafiel are considered one of the club’s main rivals.
