Arouca - Marítimo betting tips and odds

Though the home team can be called favourites, they can’t quite relax going into the match at Marítimo. Their advantage is quite narrow, and just a few mistakes could end up costing them the game.

Marítimo appear severely unprepared for a clash with Arouca, to the point of being considered hard underdogs. We would consider even a draw a success, so the long 3.75 odds for an away win bit seem fitting.

Arouca went into their previous Primeira Liga match as clear underdogs playing as visitors against Famalicão . The draw during half-time was surprising enough – but no-one saw their narrow 0:1 victory coming.

Pre-match betting odds for Marítimo’s previous Primeira Liga outing were set at 3.40, meaning it could have ended either way. However, they ended up dominating their opponents Boavista and decisively snagging a $RESULT HT/FT home win.

Whether they’re playing home or away, Arouca games are rarely as exciting as fans might want them to be. Thheir previous five outings all had less than 3 goals at the 90-minute mark.

Marítimo’s recent track record shows a very concerning amount of concessions – 7 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.

At this point, the clash between these two teams is notorious for producing inconclusive results. They already have several tied matches on record in this season alone, which is ultimately worse for the home team who are considered favourites.

This Saturday, both teams will be at full strength and able to give it their all.

Decent offers are in short supply for this match, so our best tip is to risk an HT/FT bet and go for Draw/Home. It’s quite a bold offer to take at odds of 4.50, but the betting value makes it interesting.
