Arouca come into this match in poor form, having lost three of their last five games, including a heavy 3-1 defeat. They have only won once in that stretch, which was away from home. Academico Viseu are in much better spirits, having gone four games without a loss, with three draws and one win. That win was an impressive 2-0 victory on the road, showing they can be tough to beat away from home.

The two teams have only met twice before, and both games were quite close. Academico Viseu won the last meeting 4-0, but that was a long time ago. The other match ended in a 1-1 draw. Given Viseu's strong recent form and Arouca's struggles, this match does not look like an easy one for the home side. The most likely outcome, based on the facts, is a win for Academico Viseu, as they are the team in better shape and have shown they can get results on the road.
