Prediction: 1-1
Arouca
Sunday’s football game at Parque Joaquim de Almeida Freitas pits together Moreirense and Arouca. The hosts aim to build on a 2-1 win over Farense, but this game will be anything but a walk in the park for Cesar Peixoto’s troops. Midfielder Sidnei Tavares serves a one-game ban, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
Os Lobos, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 1-0 loss to Vitoria Guimaraes. Arouca are desperate to grab something from Sunday’s encounter, but beating Moreirense on the road is easier said than done. You should know that under 2.5 goals have been netted in each of their last three meetings in the Portuguese top flight. The visitors have one suspended player as well as defender Matias Rocha was sent off in the opening match of the season.
