Team News

Moreirense
Arouca
  • Sylla is the only injury concern for the hosts.
  • Alanzinho was kept in the bench once again but he's likely to return to Starting XI on Sunday.
  • Rafa Mújica is expected to be full of confidence after being named Primeira Liga' Player of the Month.
  • David Simão misses out due to an accumulation of bookings, opening the Starting XI door to Kouassi.

Prediction

  • Moreirense lost to Boavista last weekend, in a match where they've revealed their inefficiency in front of goal. Rui Borges' men have only score once in the last 4 games.
  • As expected, FC Arouca were beaten by Sporting CP last time around. They managed to create uncertainty on the result until stoppage time, when the Lions scored a couple of goals. Daniel Sousa' men should be confident here.
  • Despite not facing the best run of form, Moreirense FC have been solid at the back and could minimize damage from FC Arouca' dangerous attack. However, they're not expected to be prolific upfront, which could give us a low scoring draw.
