Arouca form and stats

It's the first season at a new level for Arouca as they were promoted from Segunda Liga last season. Happy days that were secured through 19 wins, 8 draws and 7 losses from 34 games. The team scored 22 goals at home last season and conceded 11. It will be interesting to see how they perform at this level.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Arouca have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found five matches with the results: Won three, drawn one and lost one.

With the first game of the season soon underway, it's time to look at the results from the Arouca friendly games in pre-season: Arouca played one friendly, won 1, drew 0 and lost 0. If you are really into statistics you might appreciate knowing that Arouca scored 2 goals and conceded 1 in these one game.
