Portimonense have journeyed here for an absorbing fight against the hosts Arouca. Prepare for the game with this in-depth Liga Portugal preview!
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Arouca form and stats
Arouca have only played one Liga Portugal game here so far, a win. Last season their home statistics were 10 wins, 2 draws and 5 defeats from 17 matches.
An away draw last time out for Arouca, facing Vizela in a game that ended 2-2. The forward Mújica won the honour of being "man of the match" for Arouca with a rating of 7.71/10. Mújica scored one goal and dribled past the opponent 3 of 4 times.
Before that, a loss in the away fixture against Brann in the Europa Conference League.
Early season league goal statistics from Arouca's 1 home game: {4 goals}, 3 conceded.
Portimonense form and stats
Portimonense have played one away game so far, a loss. Last season their away games stats in the Liga Portugal were 4 victories, 1 draw and 12 defeats from 17 fixtures.
This fixture can not go any worse than the previous one, the home defeat versus Boavista with 1-4 on the scoreboard. Carrillo, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 7.85. Carrillo scored one goal and hit one key pass.
It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Gil Vicente wasn't a success with a 0-5 loss.As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Portimonense playing away, we found 4 games. Results were 1 away win, 1 draw and 2 home wins.
It's early days yet, but Portimonense has scored 0 and conceded 5 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).
