Prediction

FC Arouca will have their league debut in the middle of a UEFA Conference League preliminary round, but that should not affect them as they've had a good result in the first leg.
Estoril showed some promising signs prior to their first Primeira Liga match as they've beaten Paços de Ferreira and Belenenses to qualify for the league cup group stage, with a 7-1 goal record.
Both sides played each other in the opening match two years ago, with Estoril getting the upper hand. That result might be repeated here.
