Arouca also represent elite division and sit on 12th place in the standings with 17 points gained in 15 matches. Just like the hosting side, Arouca started the group stage with 0-1 defeat to Sporting on the road. Performance on the road isn’t strongest side on the team as they’ve lost six^ drew three and won two of their 11 away games this season. Moreover, two of this wins were taken in recent games at Feirense, 2-0, and Moreirense, 4-1.
The opponenets have faced one another this season already, when Setubal took 2-0 home win in the end of August. We should note the fact that seven out of last eight matches between the teams ended with under 2.5 goals. We shouldn’t expect this cup much to end with many goals scored as both teams would prefer to keep their best players on the bench for league matches.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals.
