Head-to-head statistics Arouca - Estrela
Arouca Team Overview
Arouca pulled off something of a miracle in the last round of the championship. Away from home, they came back from 2-0 down against Sporting to draw 2-2. They also outshot their hosts 15-10 and came out ahead on expected goals, 2.12 to 0.91.
Arouca lost their manager as a result of their own success. Vasco Seabra was named the best manager in the Primeira Liga in August, and in early October he was bought out by Rio Ave. He left the club in fifth place, with 11 points from seven matches. His replacement is VΓtor Severino, for whom Arouca is his first job as a head coach. He spent around ten years as an assistant to LuΓs Castro - at Shakhtar, Botafogo, GrΓͺmio and Al-Nassr. Severino inherited the main attacking threat: IvΓ‘n Barbero has four goals in the league, more than anyone else at the club.
Match Results: Arouca
Estrela Team Overview
In the last round, Estrela were beaten comfortably by AcadΓ©mico de Viseu, losing 0-2. They had more shots - 16 to 8 - and more possession, but managed only two shots on target compared to their opponents' four.
Estrela went six opening matches unbeaten before AcadΓ©mico de Viseu ended that run, with AndrΓ© ClΓ³vi netting twice in the first 24 minutes enough to do the damage. Away from home, Pepa's side are still unbeaten, picking up five points from three trips. Their away matches have been open affairs: they have scored at least twice in each one, but have also conceded every time. At Rio Ave, they led three times and still came away with only a point.
Match Results: Estrela
Both Teams to Score Prediction
Estrela have scored and conceded in 7 of their last 8 matches. On top of that, Arouca average 2.33 goals scored and 1 conceded per 90 minutes in home matches. All of this points to a high likelihood of both sides getting on the scoresheet. The pick is Both Teams to Score - Yes.
Risky Bet
Estrela have scored at least two goals in seven consecutive matches. Away from home, their average climbs to 2.67 goals per game this season and 2.40 across their last 10 away matches. That kind of output hints at a bet on Estrela Team Total - Over 1.5 Goals.
Correct Score Prediction
According to the algorithm's calculations, the most likely outcomes are: 1-1 (9.04%), 2-2 (8.14%) and 2-1 (7.92%). Two high-scoring draws feature in the top three.
β Editor's Prediction
Arouca have scored in 13 consecutive home Primeira Liga matches. Estrela's defence will only make things easier: they have conceded in 17 of their last 18 away matches. Estrela are not known for caution on the road either - in their last five consecutive away Primeira Liga matches, both teams combined for at least three goals. Arouca show a similar pattern: three or more goals have been scored in 11 of their last 12 home league matches. We expect at least three goals here. The bet is Total Goals - Over 2.5. Predicted score: 2-2.
Will this prediction come true?
