Failing to acquire any points in their 2-0 away defeat by Farense will have left the Arouca squad feeling a little deflated.  They achieved 61% possession in that match and had 19 strikes at goal, with 6 hitting the target, up against Farense's tally of 10 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.  

Having scored just 1 goal in their last 6 games, it will be glaringly obvious to their manager Daniel Ramos where he needs to focus his attentions if they are going to get more points on the table. Hoever, he will still have one eye on his defence which has shipped 9 in the same period.  They have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 10 games, and so far this season they have failed to score in 5 of their 10 games.  

Serious concerns will be mounting for Arouquenses, having gone without a win in their last 9 league games and lost the last 6 in a row.

In their previous league fixture, SC Braga managed a remarkable 6-1 home win against Portimonense.  In that game they had 62% possession and managed 21 attempts on goal, with 10 on target, compared to Portimonense who had 9 attempts and 3 on target.  

Artur Jorge will be very satisfied with his team's ability to find the net, with 20 goals in their last 6 matches; however, he will be less pleased with his back line, who have conceded 11 goals during those same matches.  Their goal scoring now stands at 13 games in a row, but they have failed to record a clean sheet in their last 10 games.  

They have had a strong run of form recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 games and picking up 4 wins along the way.  

In front of goal, Simon Banza has shown an impressive run of form over the last 6 league matches, managing to find the back of the net no less than 8 times in that run of games.
