Gameday in Arouca for the round 3 between Arouca & Leixoes.

Arouca is without Vitinho. Jerome Opoku is back in the 11 for Arouca, Nino Galovic is back in the 11 after games of being out.

Leixoes will go with the same line up as they did previously in the League Cup.

Arouca made a draw a draw 1-1 against Feirense. In domestic league they are ranked 8 with 5 wins, 4 draws & 4 losses for 14 goals scored & 19 goals conceded.

On their side Leixoes already played two games and they made 2 wins. Against Santa Clara they were lucky that they played 11 vs 10. Leixoes is a team from the second division with 4 wins, 7 draws & 2 losses for 15 goals scored & 11 goals conceded.

Very good value here on Arouca that I rate much stronger and who needs to take 3 points on this game as they want to qualify and Leixoes is a direct opponent. Leixoes is an average team and with their position they should play defensively and concede.

I expect 2-0 or 2-1.
