Famalicão vs. Arouca: team news and expert analysis
The club from Vila Nova de Famalicão challenged for European football last season, but collected 56 points—three fewer than Braga—and finished fifth. Their results are far worse this time around: they managed just one league win in the opening stretch and were even knocked out of the cup by modest Paredes. They did beat Rio Ave afterward, but then suffered a heavy defeat to Braga. Against the same opponent in the League Cup, however, they drew 2-2 and prevailed in a successful penalty shootout.
The team from a Porto suburb finished eighth on tiebreakers with 42 points. They made a strong start this time with a couple of victories, but subsequently, unsurprisingly, lost momentum, even though they have still often produced solid results. They beat Nacional 1-0 for the third consecutive time in the league.
The hosts have averaged 1.4 goals scored and conceded per match. Gonçalves and company have been far more impressive defensively: they have scored 1.3 goals per game while allowing just 0.7.
