Estoril Praia host Arouca in a Primeira Liga fixture, with league points at stake. CheckLive favour Arouca with a 58% win probability, but the medium signal means this is not a strong call. A draw is a real possible outcome here.
Estoril's recent form has been poor: they lost 1-2 to Benfica, 0-2 to Rio Ave and 0-2 to CD Nacional, then drew 1-1 with Famalicão and drew 1-1 with Belenenses in a friendly. Arouca have won four of their last five: 2-1 against Marítimo, 4-0 against Moreirense, 1-0 against Vitória SC and 2-0 against Lusitânia Lourosa, with a 0-2 loss to FC Porto in between.
The head-to-head record shows eight previous meetings: Estoril have three wins, one draw and four defeats against Arouca, who won the most recent encounter 3-2. Arouca come in with momentum, but Estoril have shown they can hold teams to draws, so the key is whether they can find a response.
