Team News

Boavista
Arouca
  • Abascal misses out through suspension which could move Camará to the heart of the defense.
  • Other than that, Bacci should name the same Starting XI that lost against FC Porto last weekend.
  • David Simão returns and will boost options at Arouca' engine room.
  • Henrique Araújo and Vitinho could recover on time for Saturday, but won't start here.

Prediction

  • As expected and despite their efforts, Boavista lost to FC Porto at the Estádio do Dragão. They've only won 2 of their 16 league games so far and are already in the relegation zone.
  • Despite the draw against Gil Vicente last time out, Arouca are still the team with the most defeats in the competition, with 10. They seem to be improving their game, but that hasn't translated into the league table yet.
  • This will be a genuine six-pointer in the battle to avoid relegation, which may keep both sides to take too many risks. With that in mind, a low-scoring draw is on the cards.
