Arouca take on the visitors Gil Vicente in the round 16 match of Liga Portugal. The match will be played on Friday, December 27th at Estádio Municipal de Arouca (Arouca).
"Arouca" has fallen very sharply this season. "Arouquenses" have twice climbed to 5th place in the championship and started in European competitions in the last decade. But between these successes there was a stay in the second division of the country. Last season there were chances to repeat the success, but in the end the club limited itself to seventh place. And now it has fallen so sharply that it is in the relegation zone. But, of course, it does not intend to stay there. The victory over "Santa Clara", by the way, the current contender for European competitions, was important. But then they lost again without much of a chance - "Casa Pia" brought the final score 3-1 in their favor on their home field.

"Gil Vicente" have an interesting case in their recent history, when they were first deprived of a place in the elite division, but then through an ordinary civil court they achieved a verdict on the restoration of their position in the Primeira. And, although they were raised to the elite division almost from the amateur level as a result of the compromise reached, the unusual newcomer felt quite comfortable there. And with 36 points, he finished last season in 12th place. Not everything worked out in the new championship, but in December, after success in the cup, they managed to consistently beat Nacional and Farense, strengthening their position in the table - they immediately jumped into the middle of the pack. Lisbon Sporting failed to score against this opponent in the last round, ending with a goalless draw. After that, in the capital, by the way, they thought about whether to change their opponent again, since the champion has been trying to find himself for a long time after Ruben Amorim's hold.
There were a total of fifteen head-to-head matches, and the "wolves" did not lose a single one. Including last season, they won at home and ended in a draw on the "roosters'" field. The home team is given a fairly noticeable advantage. But in general, the "geese" are at least no worse - we bet here that they will be able to avoid losing.
Prediction for the match: Arouca not to lose (1X).
