Match preview: Arouca vs AVS

Arouca and AVS will compete at the Arouca Municipal Stadium in their opening fixture of the top league. The recent head-to-head encounters favour the home team, which has recorded 2 victories and 1 draw in their last 3 meetings. Their previous clash on 08‑03-2025 ended with Arouca winning 0‑1.

Team analysis: Arouca

The home side makes its debut in this season following a finish in 11th place last term. They come into this match off the back of a resounding home victory over Boavista, winning 4‑1. Arouca has achieved 3 wins, 5 draws, and 2 losses in their last 10 home matches across all competitions. Defensive solidity has not been their strong suit, having conceded goals in 7 of those matches, yet their attack has been consistent, scoring in 8 of the last 10 games. In 15 games, they have never managed to overturn the score in the 5 instances they conceded the first goal.

Arouca generally had a promising season, especially considering their difficult start, which hampered their attempts to reach previous performance levels from the 2023/2024 season. Nonetheless, they accomplished their main aim of remaining in the league, finishing 11 points clear of the first relegation place. In their last 5 matches, they have notched up 2 wins, 2 draws, and suffered only 1 defeat. The team’s improved performance can be primarily attributed to the arrival of Vasco Seabra, who has transformed Arouca into a more cohesive and competitive outfit, justifying their status as favourites for this match.

Team analysis: AVS

This match marks the first appearance for the visiting team in the current season, having finished 17th in the previous campaign. They arrive at this encounter following a 2‑2 draw away at Vizela. Over their last 10 matches across all competitions, AVS has managed just 2 wins, alongside 2 draws and 6 losses. The team has conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, indicating a need for defensive improvement, but their attack has managed regular scoring, netting goals in 7 of those games. In 15 games, they have conceded the first goal 9 times, without ever managing to overturn the situation. Notably, they scored 6 out of their 12 goals in the second half, specifically between the 31st and 45th minutes.

The AVS team has successfully clung on to their top-flight status, despite many anticipating their relegation. They initially started promisingly under Vítor Campelos but struggled with a series of poor results, leading to his departure. Rui Ferreira was the last coach before the experienced José Mota took charge, successfully keeping AVS in the top division after a play-off against Vizela. Under Mota’s leadership, AVS has become more competitive, although their pre-season form has been less than encouraging. For this clash against Arouca, AVS comes armed with more resources than last season; however, the home team is understandably considered the favourite.
