In the 1/8 finals of the Portuguese Cup, the clash between Vizela and Arouca has caught our attention. Read the match prognosis on the pages of our resource.
Vizela
By Portuguese standards, Vizela is considered a modest club, and their participation in the Primeira Liga is already a significant achievement. This season, the team is battling to survive in the top flight, currently occupying the penultimate position in the league table. The gap from the 15th place, which guarantees safety, is merely two points. In their recent encounter, Vizela settled for a 1-1 draw away against Estrela, marking their third consecutive draw. Overall, Vizela has not secured a victory in six consecutive league matches, with four draws and two losses.
Arouca
Arouca, also competing in the top division, falls short of reaching for the stars, currently holding the 13th position in the league table. In their last fixture, the team suffered a 0-3 defeat at home against the formidable Benfica. Before that, Arouca enjoyed an impressive four-match unbeaten streak, accumulating 10 points during that period and stepping out of the ranks of the relegation candidates. However, the celebration might be premature, as the gap from the danger zone is only two points.
Match Statistics and prediction
While both teams may not be the most powerful, we anticipate a confrontation between representatives of the strongest Portuguese division. The teams are given roughly equal chances of success, which seems logical. They have already faced each other this season, with Arouca trailing 0-1 away by the 9th minute, playing with a numerical disadvantage. However, in the second half, the hosts also received a red card, and the battle ultimately ended in a 2-2 draw. We dare to assume that the opponents will once again engage in a fierce battle, and we bet on a total score exceeding 2.5 goals.
