Famalicao – Arouca

Famalicão, sitting 13th with seven points after one win, four draws and three defeats, will host Arouca at the Estadio Municipal de Famalicão. The home side’s modest goal return of ten for and eleven against underscores a fragile defence that will need to tighten up against a much stronger opposition. Arouca sit comfortably in fifth place, boasting 14 points from four victories, two draws and two losses, and enjoy a positive goal difference of +4 (11‑7). The gap in form and points makes this a classic under‑dog encounter, with Famalicão hoping to turn their season around while Arouca aim to consolidate their push for the European spots.
