The first of two encounters in the Europa Conference League 3rd Qualifying Round, as the hometeam Arouca will try to edge Brann in their own ballpark.
Brann have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 3500 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Brann could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Eliteserien game only four sleeps ago. That game, against HamKam, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Brann.
Arouca form and stats
The total Liga Portugal results playing at home this season for Arouca are 10-2-5 (wins-draws-losses).
Arouca are confident in defense, having played 180 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.
Arouca's previous match was a League Cup game also played at home, finishing 2-0 against Rio Ave. The home side are looking to repeat that performance.
Before that match, a Liga Portugal win away at Portimonense.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Arouca have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 11 games) they have won 6 times, drawn 3 and lost 2.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Liga Portugal game versus Estoril in only three days. This game is also played here at Estádio Municipal de Arouca.
The Arouca fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 22 in 17 matches.

3 wins, 1 draw and 5 losses. That’s the product of Brann playing as the away team in the Eliteserien this season.
