Team News

Arouca
Estrela da Amadora
  • Henrique Araújo returns to action and could start up front if Vasco Seabra decides to bench Yalcin, although that is unlikely to happen after the good performance by the Turkish player last time out.
  • Chico Lamba is also back available after serving a match ban last weekend but might not start after wonderful displays at the heart of the defence from Popovic and Fontán.
  • Weverson was surprisingly on the bench last weekend but he should reclaim his starting XI spot after netting the winner last time around.
  • Otávio could make his Estrela debut squad due to Miguel Lopes' injury, especially if José Faria decides to use only natural centre-backs at the heart of the defence.
  • Alan Ruiz made an impact from the bench last weekend and could start out wide, although he's also a viable option to feature in the engine room.
  • Jovane Cabral could start on the opposite flank if José Faria decides to make changes to his side up front.

Prediction

  • Arouca claimed a fantastic result last weekend, drawing with league leaders Benfica 2-2 at the Estádio da Luz. Despite trailing twice, they managed to get back into the game and picked up a valuable point in the fight to avoid relegation.
  • Estrela da Amadora were unable to follow up their win against Nacional and lost at home to direct rivals Farense. José Faria's men are just three points off the bottom three and have to improve their defensive consistency.
  • The hosts should be confident after last weekend's result, which combined with their opponents' pressure could result in a home win.
