We said: Arouca 1-1 Rio Ave
Both these sides are on an upward trajectory, with the hosts unbeaten in their last five league games, while the visitors have only lost to Sporting Lisbon over the same period.
We are expecting a close contest when these two meet on Monday night and feel that there will be nothing to separate them on the scoreline at the final whistle.
