Team News

Gil Vicente
Arouca
  • Buatu had an interesting debut with Gil Vicente and should start at the heart of the defense once again.
  • Alipour and Depú will be in competition to start upfront.
  • Morlaye Sylla will serve a match ban due to an accumulation of bookings which opens the Starting XI door to Puche.
  • Either Milovanov or Esgaio will start at the right-hand side of Arouca' defense.

Prediction

  • Gil Vicente took advantage from the effects of a new manager bounce as they earned an important 1-0 win over Moreirense FC. They're still close (3 points) to the dropout zone, but a win here will certainly make them breathe easier.
  • FC Arouca surpassed Moreirense FC and got into 6th place thanks to a 1-1 draw against Rio Ave FC last time around. They're enjoying a 4-match unbeaten run with 3 wins and 8 goals during that period, which should give them confidence heading into Friday.
  • The hosts have lost the last two games at home but they«re usually tough to beat at their home soil. Adding the new manager bounce effect, FC Arouca will certainly have a tough task and they might slip in Barcelos.
