Steven Vitória will be in competition with Lazar Rosic to start in the middle of the park. João Henriques will likely opt for a more attacking approach than the one chosen against FC Porto, with Walterson and Felipe Pires moved closer to Rafael Martins. Filipe Soares will likely return to the starting XI after coming off the bench against FC Porto. Other than Velázquez, Armando Evangelista has a full squad to pick from. Leandro Silva is fully fit and will probably get the nod over Kouassi this time around. Pité netted the equaliser last time out and could relegate Valderrama to the bench here.
There have been over 2.5 goals scored in 9 of Moreirense's last 10 games (Liga NOS). There have been over 2.5 goals scored in Arouca's last 4 games (Liga NOS). Moreirense have failed to win 13 of their last 14 home matches (Liga NOS). Moreirense have seen over 2.5 goals in their last 3 matches against Arouca in all competitions. Moreirense have conceded at least 2 goals in 5 of their last 6 matches (Liga NOS). Arouca have conceded at least 2 goals in 5 of their last 6 matches (Liga NOS).
Moreirense FC didn't offer much resistance against FC Porto and ended up losing 5-0. They're one of the three teams that are yet to win in the league, which will pressure them to get all three points. Otherwise, João Henriques' position as head coach might be at risk. FC Arouca came from behind to claim a valuable draw against Vitória SC. Armando Evangelista's men had already shown their resilience in the week prior, holding CS Marítimo to a draw. The visitors will be full of confidence heading into this one and are far from the ideal opponent for a team like Moreirense FC, that have been struggling to get good results. 0:1
