Arouca take on the visitors Famalicao in the round 9 match of Liga Portugal. The match will be played on Monday, October 10th at Estádio Municipal de Arouca (Arouca).
Arouca were able to return to the top division of the country. The "Arouquenses" celebrated its 70th anniversary this year. But, by and large, only in the last decade there have been some serious results. In 2013, I finally managed to make my debut in Primeira. And after a couple of years there was 5th place there, which even made it possible to start in the Europa League. They even managed to pass Heracles there (according to the away goal rule after a couple of draws), but they lost to Olympiacos, and soon they flew out of the country's "elite". And only this year, through the playoffs after the 3rd place, it turned out to return to the Portuguese football elite. The new cycle had a good start - yes, there was 0-4 with Benfica, but then there were victories over Gil Vicente and Santa Clara. But in the recent 5 rounds they took only 3 points, only through draws.

Famalicao after a bright start in Primeira became the middle peasant. Vila Nova were already in the elite division of the country in the early 90s of the last century. But then there was a decline, which at its peak, in 2008/2009, "reached" the 5th division of the country. There was a slow rise further, but at the time of the return to Primeira, the investors of this team were the owners of Atlético Madrid and the famous agent, Jorge Mendes. But after a bright start, the team quickly deflated, and eventually finished even the 1st season in 6th place and in the cup semi-finals. After that, Famalican completely slipped into the equator of the table: 9th position, then 8th. Now the results are about the same, moreover, in 7 rounds there were only 4 points (due to 0-0 with Gil Vicente on the road and 1-0 with Santa Clara at home) and 3 in a row with 0 goals scored. Only in October, in the last round, they broke through: 4-0 with Boavista.
After a pause, it turned out to cross pathes in the country's top division, in the 2020/2021 season. Then it was better for Arouca: 2-1 at home, 0-0 away. According to experts, opponents have approximately equal chances of success. The teams are not only relatively at the same level, but also do not shine with performance: we are waiting for “less than 2.5 goals”.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
