Match description
The favorites are the visitors GD Estoril Praia: they have scored 48 goals this season versus FC Arouca's 34, 14 more, and average 1.62 goals away compared to Arouca's 1.38 at home. Estoril also has higher average xG (1.37 vs 1.26) and more average shots per match (11.92 vs 10.46), and with a slightly better conversion rate 14% vs 13% they generate more efficient chances. At the same time both teams concede an average of 1.92 goals and have the same average xG against of 1.49, which suggests a match with goals at both ends (average total goals: 3.31 for the home side vs 3.54 for the visitors). In the last 5 matches Arouca averaged 1.2 points per game (2 wins, 3 losses), and Estoril 1.4 points (2 wins, 1 draw, 2 losses); the hosts have fewer clean sheets (15% vs 23%) but less often finish matches goalless (31% vs 38%). Considering Estoril's advantage in goals scored, superior xG and greater shot volume, I forecast an away win with a probability split of 48% for Estoril, 28% for Arouca and 24% for a draw.
