Arouca form and stats

Arouca have played 7 Segunda Liga games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-2-2 (wins-draws-losses).

Arouca manager A. Macedo Freitas and his team return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Casa Pia (placed 9th) in the Segunda Liga. Ahead of that match, Arouca lost 0-2 at home to Académica.

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 ten games) they have won five times, drawn two and lost three.

Arouca are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 7 goals in 7 games. Arouca have conceded 7 in these home matches.
