Only 10 more rounds until the end of the Portuguese football league and many things are still not clear and resolved regarding the placement. Benfica and Sporting are fighting for the title. Porto and Braga are competitors for a place in the Champions League. As many as 6 teams are threatened in terms of survival.

Chaves is one of them and one of those who are in a more unenviable situation. So far, this club has collected 18 points, which is 4 points less than the teams in the safe zone. In the previous 6 matches, Chaves lost only once, but it is obvious that great efforts will be needed for this team to keep its place in the elite.

Arouca is one of the pleasant surprises of this season. They earned such an epithet with their performances in the previous month and a half. Arouca has won 5 out of 6 previous matches in the Portuguese league. One of the defeated was Porto. This team has no chance for European competitions, but there is no doubt that they will play strong until the end.

Chaves vs Arouca pick: UNDER 2.5 GOALS

In the first part of the season, Chaves lost the most matches and conceded the most of total conceded goals. In the last month, they improved their defensive game a lot, conceding only 5 goals in the last 6 matches. 5 of those 6 duels ended with 2 or less goals. 70 goals have been scored in Arouca's matches so far, which is 3 goals per match, however, against this rival in the last 4 direct duels, they played under 2.5 goals. This is an important duel for Chaves, so too much aggressiveness is not expected from the start. We expect 2 or less goals in this match
