Arouca vs Moreirense prediction 24.01.2025 | Liga Portugal

• Competition: Liga Portugal
• Date: Friday, 24th January 2024
• Kickoff: 20:15 UK / 21:15 CET
• Venue: Estádio Municipal de Arouca (Arouca)

After two seasons in which Arouca finished in the top half of the best Portuguese league, they are again in relegation worries, as the team from the Metropolitan Area of Porto is only one point above the drop zone. However, the situation slightly improved recently, as Arouca won five points in the previous three matches. Last weekend, they played 2-2 on the road against Vitoria Guimaraes. The home side had a 2-0 lead after the first half, but the guests played much better in the second 45 minutes and deserved to take home one point. 

After finishing sixth last season, Moreirense have another good year. They are a mid-table team with more than enough gap between Moreirense and the relegation zone. Most of the season was good for Cesar Peixoto's team, but they struggled lately, with only three points in the last six matches. In the previous game, they played 0-0 at home against Farense. The home side had 65% ball possession and nine shots on the goal more than the opponent, but Moreirense failed again to break the negative run. 

Arouca vs Moreirense pick: Under 2.5 goals 

Arouca scored only two goals in the last three home matches. On the other hand, Moreirense scored only six goals in the previous seven road games. We should expect a low-scoring game on Friday night at Estadio Municipal de Arouca.
