Team News

Estoril
Arouca
  • Xeka is still dealing with a thigh injury and won't be available here.
  • João Carvalho, on the other hand, is fully recovered and ready to feature at the middle of the park.
  • Yalçin netted a brace last time around and will likely feature upfront here.
  • Fukui and Loum will be in competition to feature at the middle of the park.

Prediction

  • Estoril were the protagonists of one of the biggest surprises of the third round of the Portuguese Cup, being eliminated by a 4th tier team. Ian Cathro's men are going through a difficult period, winning only one of their nine matches this season.
  • Arouca got their offensive form back last weekend when they beat Maria da Fonte 5-0 in the Portuguese Cup. Gonzalo Garcia's men had yet to score and this win could boost their confidence and catapult them into a good game on Saturday.
  • The pressure is all on Estoril, who are very close to the drop zone, something Arouca will be able to capitalise on, especially given the strength of their counter-attack.
