Famalicao vs Arouca Predictions

• Famalicao have won six of their last nine home league games and lost only two.
• Arouca have drawn six of their last ten away Primeira Liga matches.
• Ivan Jaime has scored four goals in his last seven games and takes penalties.

Monday night match will be close encounter

Two evenly-matched sides go head-to-head in Monday night’s Primeira Liga clash when Famalicao entertain Arouca. Fama are on the rise thanks to a run of four wins from their last five games and rarely get into any trouble at home.

But Arouca have been very solid on their travels too, losing only two of their last 11 road trips in the league, which points to the draw being a likely outcome.

Armando Evangelista’s visitors have drawn six of their last ten road games, all of which were either 0-0 or 1-1, so a low-scoring stalemate seems to be their usual result.

Goals likely to be at a premium

Goals have tended to be at a premium in recent Famalicao matches too, which adds to the appeal of backing a draw with fewer than 2.5 goals here.

Joao Pedro Sousa’s side have scored exactly one goal in three of their last four home league games, which has been good enough for victory each time. But Arouca have scored several goals more than the three teams Fama vanquished during that run and can get on this scoresheet too in a 1-1 draw.

Ivan Jaime, who has scored four and assisted another in his last seven appearances, looks the most likely goalscorer for the hosts and the attacking midfielder takes penalties.
