Estrela look to extend their unbeaten run in the Primeira League to four games. They start this match in ninth place and host Arouca who are five places and three points below them. The Tricolors have won one and drawn two of their last three league fixtures. Their most recent league fixture saw them held to a goalless draw at Farense who are a place above them in the Primeria League table. A win over Arouca will take them up to seventh in the table. They won their last home league game, beating Boavista (who have lost four of their last five games) 3-1. Home form has been inconsistent this season with three league games won but the other four all being lost. Two of their last three on home soil have been won.

Arouca are 14th in the Primeira League but only a point above the relegation zone. Their form has improved in recent weeks with two of their three league games being won. The most recent fixture saw them beat Gil Vicente (one from bottom in the table) 3-0 at home. Before that they won 4-0 at Boavista and drew 2-2 at home with Rio Ave. That draw was a tough one to get as they went 2-0 down in 29 minutes. Away form for Arouca had produced two points from five games with three successive losses before that win at Boavista. Our tip here is a double chance bet on Estrela to get a win or draw.
