After a five absence in the Primeira Liga, FC Arouca finally made it to the top flight by securing promotion in 2022. Since then, they have managed to maintain their status at this level for the past five years.
Their performance last season was nothing to write home about. They finished in 12th place with 38 points. This was a significant downgrade for a side that finished in seventh place in the 2023-24 season.
In preparation for the current campaign, the Arouquenses have played six preseason games. It has been a dreadful showing from Daniel Ramos' men, who emerged victorious on two occasions only (L4). Their final friendly game was against Famalicao, and they lost 4-1 on the road, extending their losing streak to two matches.
FC Arouca: Team News
FC Arouca have seen six players leave the club after the 2024-25 Primeira Liga season. However, there have been some great additions despite those departures, with the team signing ten players.
Hyun-Ju Lee signed from Bayern Munich in a deal worth €1.6 million. Mateo Flores is also another great addition, joining from Real Betis on loan. They have also required the services of goalkeeper Jakub Vinarčík, who joins from Juventus.

AVS Futebol SAD: Form and Statistics
AVS Futebol SAD managed to escape the relegation zone by the skin of their teeth last season. Sitting on the same number of points as the relegated Farense, it was the visitors who got to secure the relegation play-off spot instead.
Having finished in 16th place within the relegation play-off spot, they had to fight for their Primeira Liga status in the promotion/relegation playoff. There, they had no trouble brushing aside the threat of second division club Vizela winning 5-2 on aggregate.
Regarding their performance in the preseason games, the Vila das Aves outfit failed to win in any of their four matches, recording two draws and two losses.
AVS Futebol SAD: Team News
AVS Futebol SAD has seen as many as ten players leave the club after the conclusion of the 2024-25 Primeira Liga season. However, they have also signed the same number of players during the transfer window.
The latest addition to the club has to be the signing of Sidi Bane from Lens. The Senegalese international hardly made an appearance for the French side last season. This saw him being loaned out to a second division club, FC Annecy, where he made 14 appearances.
They have also decided to strengthen their attacking department with the signing of Jordi Escobar from Celta Vigo II. Escobar made 30 appearances for the former club and scored 11 goals.
🔖 Probable Starting XI (4-2-3-1): Simao; Kiki, Molina, Devenish, Bane; Assuncao, Grau; Mercado, Piazon, Akinsola; Nene.

FC Arouca vs AVS Futebol SAD match prediction 09 August 2025
FC Arouca are favorites heading into this clash, and this doesn't come as a surprise. Last season, they went three home games without defeat with their last match against Boavista, resulting in a commanding 4-1 triumph.
If there's anyone snatching three points, it has to be the home team. AVS Futebol SAD won their last away league game 1-0, but this was after an abysmal display that saw them lose four matches in a row while conceding 16 goals in the process. That said, I'm confident about FC Arouca's chances of securing their first league win at home.
