Arouca welcomes Braga to the Estádio Municipal de Arouca for this matchday 16 encounter in the Portuguese Premier League. The hosts are in 11th position with 14 points and while the visitors are in 4th place with 28 points. Both teams are struggling for form coming into this match. Arouca have failed to win any of their last three matches and have won just two of their last 13 matches which Iis the reason for their slide down the table. They are just three points clear of the relegation zone and another loss here could see them fall into the drop zone. A victory is paramount for them in order to avoid getting involved in a relegation scrap later in the season. They lost their last home match to Vizela after winning their previous two. Their overall home record is poor which just three wins in their seven home games.

Braga overall recent form has not been great but their league performance has been fairly decent with three win in their last four matches. They have just one win in their last five matches across all competitions. They may be in fourth position but are already 9 points behind third placed Porto and a whopping 13 points behind runaway leaders Benfica and Sporting. Braga are currently occupying the Europa Conference position and will want a victory to cement their spot. They are however on a dreadful away run having lost their last five matches across all competitions. Braga have failed to win at Arouca in their last three visits with two draws and a loss.
