The seventh round of Portugal Betclic League Games will end at the Municipal Stadium of Aroucafollowing a duel between FC Arouca and FC Porto. After much controversy and criticism due to the proposed date for the match (initially scheduled for September 28 at 8:30 pm), it is at the time of both teams to compete for another duel in this competition.
Those in the house face this clash with reinforced morals, as they won the last meeting they played. A triumph by the minimum margin (1-2) at the home of the National allowed to return to a positive path, and the only “bad news” fell on the expulsion of Jose Fountain At 85 minutes, after two yellow cards. Height, therefore, to make changes to the defensive line: Matías Rocha He is one of the strongest candidates to occupy the vacancy.

In addition, it is underlined, they got the best against AFS and the aforementioned nationalresults that translate into the ninth position of the classification table.
The history of FC Porto is completely different. Francesco Farioli’s men are one of the best -way teams at national level and the current paradigm explains that, the result of seven triumphs in so many duels played in all competitions. Just one goal conceded and 15 scored. A “machine” that has not yet had any startle along the way.
