Double chance : Arouca or draw

Arouca are heading into this match in terrible form, having lost their last four games. They have been struggling to get results and will be desperate to turn things around in front of their own fans. Santa Clara haven’t been much better, with only one win in their last five matches and a recent loss as well. Both teams are not playing their best football right now, so this could be a tight and cautious game.

Looking at recent meetings between these two sides, goals have been hard to come by. The last match ended 0-0, and three of the previous five meetings saw only one goal or fewer. With both teams struggling for form and goals being scarce in this fixture, this match looks very close and likely to be a low-scoring affair, possibly ending in a draw.
