Arouca Nacional betting prediction

The away team is currently in the 9ª position of the league, with 37 points won, after 10 wins, 7 draws and 14 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against o Porto, by (4‑0). In the last match, they lost in a home match against o Moreirense, by (0‑1). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 2 wins, 6 draws and 7 losses in away matches, with 9 goals scored and 21 conceded; against 8 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses at their stadium, with 29 goals scored and 21 conceded. In the last 10 away league matches o Nacional has a record of 2 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses, so they have won 10 points out of 30 possible.

Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 31 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 17 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

National comes unmotivated for this match after the two consecutive defeats in the league. The visiting team usually line up in 4-3-3 opting for a more cautious style of play and successive counterattacks, mainly through the flanks. Salvador Agra is very important in defense-attack transition. But, it must be observed that National has some weaknesses in the defensive organization and defense-attack transition. Tiquinho Soares remains the best scorer of the team with six goals scored. For this match the coach won’t count on Román and Willyan, injured, and João Aurélio, punished. And he still doesn’t know if will count on Rodrigo Pinho.

Confirmed Lineup: Rui Silva, Nuno Sequeira, Nuno Campos, Rui Correia, Hichem Belkaroui, Washington, Ali Ghazal, Nenê Bonilha, Witi, Tiquinho, Salvador Agra, Vítor Vinha.
