Estoril Arouca betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

Estoril and Arouca, for different reasons, enter this match looking for the first points of the 20/21 season, anticipating a well-played match with moments of good football. Estoril, for having a squad with more quality and depth, should assume the initiative of the match and have the best goal opportunities. On the other hand, Arouca, being a more limited team, should play most of the time in a defensive transition looking for a breach to go out on the counterattacks and sentence the match. Having said that and taking into account the importance of starting well in this new season, we expect an open game with scoring opportunities in both goals.

Preview
Estoril and Arouca face at Estádio António Coimbra da Mota, in a match for the 1st round of the Segunda Liga. The head‑to‑head history at this stadium, favours the home team, since in the last 3 head‑to‑heads they won 1 and tied 2. Nevertheless, in the last head‑to‑head played at this stadium, for the Segunda Liga, on 09‑01‑2019, they tied (1‑1). Both teams register significant differences between home and away results, so the home/away factor is worth atention.

Analysis Estoril

This is the first match in this edition of the competition for the home team, that ended the previous edition of the lower division in the 4th position and got the promotion. 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 5 wins, 3 draws and 7 losses in away matches, with 16 goals scored and 18 conceded; against 10 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses at their stadium, with 28 goals scored and 16 conceded. In their last match, for the Segunda Liga, they got an away tie against UD Oliveirense by (1‑1). In the last 10 home matches Estoril has won 7, tied 1 and lost 2. Their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches. They have conceded the first goal in 9 of their 15 matches, and have only turned the score around in 1.

Estoril comes to this match after a defeat, by 4-1, against Benfica led by Jorge Jesus, in one of the first pre-season rehearsals behind closed doors. In this match, Pizzi was the big highlight, scoring two goals. The rest of the result was colored by Florentino Luís and Cervi, after the Linha team reduced the handicap through Rosier.
We recall that Estoril finished in fourth in the LigaPro 19/20 - a season that ended ahead of time due to the pandemic - with 12 wins, 3 draws and 9 losses, ending with 35 goals scored and 26 conceded, at the helm of Pedro Duarte. It should be noted that, compared to last season, there were many changes, mainly in the sports “body” of the club, important to highlight, starting with the creation of an investment fund in MSP Sports Capital capitalizing on sports properties, television rights, technologies information, content creation, sponsorship, betting and data management. This investment also embraces the creation of a well-structured sports portfolio, starting with a strong investment in the structure and also in the technical team: the change of the General Director and the Sports Director, the respective positions offered to Guilherme Muller and Pedro Alves. The icing on the cake of this ambitious project from the team was the change of coach, thus choosing a new spirit that also knows how to bet on training, hiring the promising Bruno Pinheiro to replace Pedro Duarte. With the arrival of the new coach and the financial investment of Estoril, hiring players who have experienced in league clubs superior to LigaPro, such as: Internacional, Moreirense, Vitória SC among others, a more “loose” team is expected in field with its own identity.
In this opening game of the 20/21 season, coach Bruno Pinheiro should go out to the field with his best pieces in search of adding the first three points of the season. The highlight for this season is Joãozinho, a player who was on the end of his contract with APOEL. For this game, the helmsman of Estoril can count on all players.

Confirmed Lineup: Daniel Leite, Hugo Basto, João Diogo, Hugo Gomes, Loreintz Rosier, Joãozinho, Gamboa, Bruno Lourenco, Abdul-Aziz Yakubu, Zé Valente, André Vidigal.

Analysis Arouca

The away team makes its debut in this edition of the competition with great expectations, after having gotten the promotion last season. 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 6 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses in away matches, with 23 goals scored and 19 conceded; against 15 wins at their stadium, with 41 goals scored and 6 conceded. In their last match, for the Campeonato de Portugal Prio, they got a home win against Ginásio Figueirense by (9‑0). In the last 10 away matches Arouca has won 4, tied 3 and lost 3. Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches. In their away matches there is a tendency for few goals, since 5 of the last 12 matches have ended with Under 1,5 goals and 8 out of 12 have ended with Under 2,5 goals.

Arouca went through a very difficult situation for the club, where they were dreaming of Europe during their journey, reaching their biggest nightmare: the descent to LigaPro. In mid-May, President Carlos Pinho received information from the FPF, who was going to expand the II League, promoting Arouca (Serie B) again and also promoting Vizela (Serie A) of the Portuguese Championship, which at the time of interruption of the third echelon of Portuguese football - given as finished, completed 25 of 34 rounds - were leaders with more points. It was good news for the president of Futebol Clube do Arouca, who celebrated with new faces, new projects and an ambitious structure: this is the bet of the direction of Futebol Clube de Arouca for this season. One of the great changes at this year's Arouca is the coach's presentation. Quim Machado leaves Arouca and is replaced by Armando Evangelista, a coach who played for Vitória de Guimarães B, Varzim, Penafiel and Vilafranquense, being his favorite tactical model 4-4-1-1.
During his career he recorded 148 games, in which he got 58 wins, 32 draws and 56 losses, having scored 217 goals and conceded 201. Looking at his career data and his time at Penafiel (which was the most striking) he is a coach who likes to keep defensive skills up to date, betting on the counterattack. Armando Evangelista, faced Estoril in the service of Vilafranquense in 2020, in which he lost by 2-0, in this game, the current squad of Arouca, presented a different model to his preference, the 4-4-2. The Arouca squad compared to the Estoril squad, has a much lower market value, reaching just 1.78M €.
Futebol Clube de Arouca was reinforced with prominence in Leandro Silva who arrives from AEL Limassol, from Cyprus. Other new faces, such as Brunão, from Vila Nova FC, where he has a termination clause of 3M €.

Confirmed Lineup: Victor Hugo, Thales, Bruno, João Basso, Joel, Pedro Moreira, Marco Soares, Adílio Santos, Andre Watshini Bukia, Eli, Nuno Rodrigues.
