Portimonense v Arouca Match preview
Paulo Sergio’s side have made a flying start to the campaign that has seen them move closer to fighting for a place in Europe next season. And after sealing a hard fought 1-0 win over Moreirense in their previous league encounter, the home side would be eager to make things difficult for Arouquense who are only two points away from the relegation play off spot.
Armando Evangelista has done a great job, guiding them to promotion back to topflight Portuguese football but ensuring safety would be an even greater achievement. They’re currently winless in two games, losing to Vizela 4-1 at the weekend. A return to winning ways is crucial for the visitors.
