In the upcoming match, both Arouca and Nacional will be looking to secure the three points after suffering a defeat in their last game. Arouca will be playing on a tough pitch for the visiting team, but they need to capitalize on Nacional's problematic defense, especially when playing away. Arouca, despite having a vulnerable defense even at home, may have an opportunity to exploit Nacional's defensive weaknesses and score some crucial goals.
The team led by Tiago Carvalho Margarido usually does not face much pressure from the home team's supporters, which could work in their favor. However, they will need to tighten up their defense to prevent Nacional from finding the back of the net. On the other hand, Nacional will need to find a way to break through Arouca's defense and improve their goal-scoring record, which currently stands at 0.5 goals scored per game this season.
In terms of recent head-to-head matchups, the advantage seems to be slightly in favor of the home team, with 2 wins compared to Nacional's 0 wins and 3 draws. This indicates that Arouca may have the upper hand in this upcoming game, but Nacional will be determined to change their fortunes and come out victorious.
Both teams have struggled to find consistency in their performances this season, but a win in this game could help boost their morale and move them up the table. Arouca's home advantage and Nacional's struggles on the road could play a crucial role in determining the outcome of this match.
