Estoril come into this match in decent shape. They have won two of their last five games and drawn two more, with just one loss in that run. Arouca, on the other hand, have been struggling—they have lost three of their last five matches, with just one win and one draw. Recent meetings between these two sides have often been high-scoring affairs; in fact, their last two clashes saw a total of five goals and then seven goals. Given Estoril’s better recent results and Arouca’s poor form, this match looks like it will be a close one but favours the home team.

Based on the facts, Estoril are likely to win this game. Their recent form is more consistent, and Arouca have been losing frequently. The history between the teams also suggests goals are common, so an open contest is expected.
