LiontipsEstrela - Arouca. Forecast (odds 3.10) and bets on the match of the Portuguese championship
Command Analysis
Current form
Estrela have only nine points in 12 rounds, placing them in 15th place in the table. They are only able to break away from the relegation zone by additional indicators. In the last five rounds, the team has only won once, when they beat Nacional on their home field (2:0). In general, we have a typical home team, as eight of the nine points were scored on their home field.
Disqualifications and injuries
The team has no problems with its composition.
Interesting trends for betting
- Estrela have not won in the first half in their last five matches
- There have been no goals exchanged in the three previous matches involving Estrela
Probable line-up: Bruno Brigido - Veiga, Lopes, Ferro, Lima - Leo Cordeiro, Jesus, Jovane, Ruiz - Nilton, Rodrigo Pinho.
Current form
Arouca is fighting for survival and after 12 rounds is at the bottom of the standings, with only eight points. A win today over a direct competitor will allow them to leave the relegation zone. However, it will be very difficult to get three points, considering that the Arouca team won their last victory in Primeira back in September. In the last two rounds of the championship, there was an away goalless draw with Famalicao and a home defeat to Benfica (0:2).
Disqualifications and injuries
Galovic and Kouassi will not play today due to injuries.
Interesting trends for betting
- In four of their previous five matches, Arouca have been losing in the first half
- Three of Arouca last five matches have seen goals exchanged
Estimated line-up: Mantle - Thiago Esgaio, Lamba, Fontan, Dante - Lum, Simao, Jason, Silla - Rodrigues, Trezza.

The upcoming match will feature the outsiders of the Primeira Liga, who are fighting for survival. Every point in such matches is worth its weight in gold and it is unlikely that anyone will take an unjustified risk today. In the last face-to-face match, Estrela and Arouca were unable to determine the strongest, and ended in a draw with a score of 0:0. There is a high probability of a draw this time too.

Bet on the first half
The previous personal meeting ended with a 0:0 draw at the end of the first half. We don't expect the opponents to force the action on the field at the start today.
