Arouca will aim to return to winning ways when they host Famalicao at the Estadio Municipal in round 28 of the Primeira Liga on Saturday evening.
The hosts are without a victory in consecutive matches, leaving them 13th in the standings with 29 points, six adrift of their visitors.
We say: Arouca 1-1 Famalicao
Arouca’s struggles to hold onto leads at home, combined with Famalicao’s inconsistent away form, suggest a closely contested encounter.
A low-scoring draw is on the cards, though both teams should find the net considering their record in the final third, with the visitors netting in their last four trips.

Vitoria de Guimaraes will be eager to return to winning ways when they welcome Santa Clara for round 28 of the Primeira Liga.
The hosts arrive on the back of a 2-2 draw at Moreirense, which left them sixth on 42 points, while the visitors, who sit just above them, extended their advantage to four points after a successful matchday 27 outing.
We say: Vitoria de Guimaraes 1-0 Santa Clara
This fixture has all the makings of a tight contest, with both sides showing defensive resilience in recent weeks, but Vitoria’s strong home record in this encounter gives them the edge, and a single goal could well settle the contest.
