Arouca Preview – Can Arouca get off the mark?
Primera Liga newcomers, Arouca, haven’t made the best of starts in the Portuguese top flight following their promotion from the Segunda Division at the end of last season, as the hosts have already suffered back-to-back defeats so far this season.
Arouca overcame Rio Ave in the relegation/promotion play-off by a resounding 5-0 victory on aggregate over their two-legged tie, but losses early on in this new season to Estoril and Benfica, both by 2-0 scorelines, doesn’t bode well for this Friday’s clash with Famalicao.
It’s been four seasons since Arouca last appeared in the Primera Liga but previous history suggests the hosts could be in for another tough season in the top flight as the hosts have won just one of their last 16 matches overall.
Famalicao Preview – Can Famalicao end slump?
Famalicao have started this new Portuguese top flight season the same way they ended last season and that is with defeats as the visitors have suffered early back-to-back losses against Pacos Ferreira and Porto to reside in the bottom three along with their hosts, Arouca.
Famalicao ended last season in disappointing fashion as they incurred a heavy 3-0 defeat away from home at Moreirense but the visitors had previously strung together three wins on the trot with victories gained over Santa Clara, Vitoria Guimaraes and Nacional.
Whilst Famalicao have suffered a few defeats on the road in the Primera Liga, the visitors have also picked up a few wins along the way too, with victories achieved at Maritimo, Gil Vicente and Vitoria Guimaraes in recent times, so they should at least avoid defeat here.
