Arouca - Estoril predictions

Though Arouca are more likely to win this, an away win would only be slightly surprising. It’s a relatively balanced matchup, which usually means we’ll see some exciting football.

The away team’s chances of winning this Sunday are dubious at best. They are the clear underdogs in a matchup with Arouca, and the fact that they’re the visiting team isn’t making things any easier.

The victory Arouca recorded in the previous round might not have been as exciting as the fans would have liked, but it was still a reasonable success. Playing as favourites in an away game, they snatched the 3 points thanks to a second-half decider.

Most online bookmakers saw the 2:2 score at the end of Estoril’s previous league match coming. The odds for their home victory were set around 3.14, so the home-field advantage mostly served to even the playing field. Right on cue, neither team managed to definitively pull ahead throughout the game’s runtime.

Estoril’s recent track record shows a very concerning amount of concessions – 6 of them in their previous 3 matches, to be exact. While it’s obvious their defence has a lot of problems, Over markets might be a good option for this match.

We already saw these two teams clash this season, and Estoril carried off a narrow home win. The roles are reversed this time, however, and the betting odds are marking Arouca as somewhat more likely to win.

Sunday's match will see both teams at full strength, able to utilize all their players.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 1 odds offered at 1xbet.
