Arouca vs Estoril Preview & Prediction | 2022-23 Portuguese Primeira Liga | 07-01-2023
THE PREDICTION
The home team come into this on the back of a 5-1 hammering at the hands of reigning champions Porto in their most recent outing, last week. Arouca have now suffered back-to-back defeats either side of the FIFA World Cup break and they sit firmly in the middle-of-the-table. They now face an Estoril side that come into this on the back of a 1-0 defeat at home to Famalicao in the Taca da Liga a couple of weeks ago and they are now winless in their last nine matches in all competitions. These are two poor sides and a low-scoring encounter is expected, regardless of the match result, albeit Arouca are slight favourites, especially with their home advantage.
