Preview for match FC Arouca vs Moreirense FC

As the Primeira Liga nears its halfway mark, FC Arouca prepares to host Moreirense FC at the Municipal de Arouca on Friday, January 24, 2025, at 21:15. This match, part of Matchday 19, pits two teams with contrasting fortunes against each other. FC Arouca, positioned 16th in the league standings, is struggling to find form with a total of 15 points, having secured only four wins, three draws, and suffered ten defeats.

In comparison, Moreirense FC sits more comfortably in 8th place with 22 points. Their record includes six wins, four draws, and seven defeats, with a slightly better goal difference of 22:25. However, their away performances have been less impressive, managing just two wins out of nine matches. The previous direct meeting between these teams ended in a 3:1 victory for Moreirense, which could weigh heavily on the minds of the Arouca players as they look to turn the tide in this contest.

Both teams enter this fixture with mixed recent performances. FC Arouca managed to earn a draw against Vitória Guimarães in their last outing, while Moreirense could only muster a goalless draw against SC Farense. The contrasting mentalities and confidence levels heading into this match will be pivotal in determining the outcome.
