Team News

Arouca
Nacional
  • Matías Rocha is back available and will bring fresh legs to the heart of the defense.
  • With Pedro Santos and Jason injured, Pablo Gozálbez should make another appearance here.
  • Nigel Thomas is fully recovered, leaving Djibril Soumaré as the only injury concern for the visitors.
  • Baeza might return to the Starting XI, relegating Bruno Costa to the bench.

Prediction

  • Arouca didn't get the best of starts in the league as they lost their first two games. They've had an interesting start against Moreirense last weekend but ended up losing, proving that they've been leaky at the back.
  • Nacional lost 6-1 to Sporting last weekend but the result doesn't reflect their performance as they were able to put on a fight during the first half. Tiago Margarido' men will look to get their first win of the season here.
  • The visitors, however, only won one of the last 8 games against their next opponents and the record isn't expected to change on Sunday.
