The Primeira Liga gets underway on Thursday, 28th December,2023 as one of the rounds of matches sees CF Estrela play host to Arouca in what promises to be an eventful match. The home team sits in 9th position in the table log after 14 match rounds, amassing 16 points in total. More so, Arouca are 14th on the table, with just three points separating them from the host after equal number of matches.

In this tie, we anticipate a fiercely contested game as both teams will be wary of giving away too many chances. Estrela will be desperate to climb higher up the table by preventing a defeat here, especially with the backing of their home fans, they will be keen to avoid a defeat here over their fierce rival. Furthermore, Estrela, despite proving difficult to play against in recent weeks, haven’t been able to go on consecutive league victories in their past six games. The home side has just a victory in as many games as possible heading into this tie, with their last league outing ending in a draw against Farense. Therefore, we believe they will face a difficult task to contain the visitors who head into this tie in confident fashion.

Arouca, heads into this tie on the back of a scintillating 3-0 victory over Gil Vicente. They have been undefeated in their last four games heading into this tie, winning three and drawing one. The visitors have a flair for playing out from the back and hurting their opponent on the counter, as this has been evident in their goals scored. 11 goals it is for the visitors in their last four games heading into this tie, keeping two clean sheets in the process.

Despite the visitors not starting their season in the best possible fashion, they have turned the tides over and have been amazing in recents weeks. In view of this, we are backing Arouca to secure the match points when they travel on the road to play the host. The host defensive porosity will be put to test once more, as they have let in a huge number of goals in previous weeks. We are backing the visitors to leverage on this by punishing them on the counter and bagging all the match points at the end of the 90 minutes.

西甲联赛将于2023年12月28日星期四开始，其中一轮比赛中埃斯特雷拉主场迎战阿鲁卡，这将是一场精彩的比赛。在14轮比赛后，主队在积分榜上排名第9，总共积16分。更重要的是，阿鲁卡在积分榜上排名第14，在同样多的比赛之后，他们与东道主只差3分。

在这场比赛中，我们预计会有一场激烈的竞争，因为两支球队都会小心翼翼地避免失去太多的机会。埃斯特雷拉将不顾一切地通过避免在这里失利而攀升到积分榜的更高位置，特别是在他们的主场球迷的支持下，他们将迫切希望避免在这里输给他们的劲敌。此外，埃斯特雷拉，尽管在最近几周证明很难对付，但在过去的六场比赛中并没有取得连续的联赛胜利。本场比赛中，主队只需要在尽可能多的比赛中取得一场胜利，他们的上一场联赛以战平法国而告终。因此，我们相信他们将面临一项艰巨的任务，以遏制客队自信地进入这场比赛。

阿鲁卡队以3:0大胜吉尔·维森特队进入了这场比赛。他们在最近的四场比赛中保持不败，三胜一平。客队有一种从后场进攻并在反击中伤害对手的天赋，这在他们的进球中表现得很明显。客队在最后四场比赛中进了11球，在此过程中保持了两场零封对手。

尽管客队没有以最好的方式开始他们的赛季，但他们已经扭转了局面，并且在最近几周表现惊人。鉴于此，我们支持阿鲁卡在客场对阵东道主时确保赛点。东道主的防守漏洞将再次受到考验，因为他们在前几周丢了很多球。我们支持客队利用这一点，在90分钟结束时对他们进行反击，并将所有赛点都收走。
