My Prediction
Arouca by 1Intriguing matchup we got here folks, Arouca playing against Moreirense. It's worth noting, though we've got the goalkeepers stats, absolute legends, all of them. Moreirense sports two fine figures between the sticks, Caio with a 7.50 rating and Kewin at 6.83. On the other side, Nico Mantl is guarding the net for Arouca with a rating of 6.73.
Let's look at the player breakdown. Moreirense's top lads are Alan, Gabrielzinho, and Dinis Pinto. Alan and Gabrielzinho bang in the occasional goal with their 7.22 and 7.05 ratings respectively. Dinis Pinto throws accuracy around like it's going out of fashion at 75.7 percent but hasn't quite found the back of the net this season.
Arouca's got some steely eyed assassins of their own. Lads like Tiago Esgaio and Chico Lamba up front, both of whom can pop in a goal when needed. The team's leading assist guy Jose Fontán, doesn't exactly strike fear into the hearts of goal tenders but has a formidable 92.5 percent pass accuracy.
Looking at the archives, Moreirense usually has Arouca's number, at least in the past few matches. Last seasons, Moreirense bested Arouca in all three outings. This season's records also lean in their favor, with 6 wins to Arouca's 4.
However, momentum can be a cheeky devil. Moreirense seems to have lost some in recent outings, with a loss to CD Nacional, a draw with Estoril Praia, and a loss to the mighty FC Porto. Arouca, on the other hand, has had a bit of resurgence recently with a crucial win against Boavista and a draw with Vitória SC.
Considering these factors and thanks to an unexplainable gut feeling which is often wrong but occasionally right, I'll go out on a limb and make my prediction.
