Estoril are having a much worse year than the last season when they finished ninth. This season, they are 15th with five points away from the playout spot. They did start the season great, but after that good start, they have been absolutely atrocious. Since there are only three rounds left, with a potential win, they could secure survival.
The main problem for Estoril this season was their inability to score. So far, they have scored only 26 goals in 31 matches. Only Santa Clara, Pacos Ferreira, and Portimonense have scored less than Estoril this season.
Arouca are having one of the best seasons in the club's history. They are in 5th place with 48 points from 31 matches. They are in a good position to secure Europe three rounds before the end of the season with five points more than the 7th-placed Chaves.
Arouca are also one of the teams with a poor offensive record - 33 goals in 31 matches. But their defense have been on point, and that is the primary reason for their success this season.

Arouca team news
After a 1:0 loss to Porto, coach Armando Evangelista was satisfied despite losing the game. He said Porto gave them very little space to have the ball, and even when they had the possession, they forced long balls too much. "We worked, we tried, and nobody can accuse us of the opposite," he added.
Oday Dabbagh missed the previous nine games with a muscle injury and should be out for this game too. The 24-year-old scored seven goals in the 14 games he played for the team.
Joao Basso, a team captain and a starting central defender, could miss the game with a muscle injury. Jerome Opoku and Nino Galovic should start at the back with him potentially out.
A rotation midfielder, Vitinho, is dealing with a long-term injury and will miss the Estoril game too.
Left full-back Weverson arrived at the club during the winter break but played only 66 minutes in Liga Portugal due to injuries. He is ruled out for this game too.
