Arouca vs Estrela Match Analysis & Prediction
05/05/2024 8:00 pm
Two teams in highly contrasting forms will meet in round 32 of the 2023-24 Primeira Liga season as Arouca play host to Estrela Amadora at Estadio Municipal de Arouca.
The hosts are unbeaten in their last five matches, while the visitors head into this weekend’s contest on a run of six games without a win.
Arouca had to make do with a point for the second game running as they played out a 2-2 draw against Gil Vicente at Estadio Cidade de Barcelos on Friday.
A second-half double from Cristo put Daniel Sousa’s side in pole position before stoppage-time strikes from Tidjany Toure and Jonathan Buatu forced a share of the spoils.
As a result, the Arouquenses remain seventh in the Primeira Liga standings, 17 points adrift of the last European spot currently occupied by Sporting Braga.
Having prevailed in five of their last six home matches, Arouca will back themselves to secure another three points in front of what is sure to be an expectant home crowd.
Meanwhile, Estrela were on the receiving end of a 3-0 defeat to SC Farense in Monday’s encounter between the sides at Estadio Jose Gomes.
Sergio Vieira’s side fell behind to Bruno Duarte’s opener on the stroke of halftime, after which Mohamed Belloumi and Marco Matias put the result beyind doubt in the second half.
With 29 points picked up from 32 matches this season, Estrela sit 15th in the league standings, just one point clear of relegation danger heading into the final three matches.
Winless in their last 12 away matches across all competitions, the Tricolours have work to do at both ends of the pitch as they go in search of what would be a rare win on the road.
