Our prediction for the match Estrela Amadura vs Arouca
“The Star” had made it to the Primeira before the start of the previous season (it is reasonable to mention that it was hanging around in the third, almost semi-amateur, division of the country a couple of years ago). As for a newcomer, the club did well: only 33 points were taken in 34 matches, but that was enough to get the 14th final position. “The Wolves”, who fought for survival in 2022, then managed to get into the European competition. There the team stopped at the qualification level. As for the championship, it a little, but lost a couple of positions, finishing in 7th place.
Now Gonzalo Garcia’s footballers have fallen very sharply. They have already flown out of the cup confrontation, and they are losing most of the matches, including in recent weeks, in the championship. The team is saved from falling to the very bottom by the fact that there is an even more hopeless underdog – Farense. The previous round, where the club struggles with Benfica, brought no chance – 0-2.
Jose Faria’s wards are not particularly different for the better. Moreover, they won for the first time at the end of September. Still, then they added a fighting draw with Vitoria Guimaraes on their home field and, that is the most important, beat their direct competitor, Nacional, there. At the same time, the team continued to lose at the away arena. Speaking about the previous round, the team went to the main outsider, Farense, and everything ended with a 0-1 result.
