Santa Clara played a 1-1 draw in their last game to end their two-game losing run with Sidney Lima’s 84th-minute strike canceling Andre Luiz's 25th-minute opener for Rio Ave. The Azoreans remain unbeaten in four of their last six games, but have managed only two wins in their last eight home games. They sit 6th on the table with 47 points in 30 games, having scored 29 goals and conceded 29. They are five points below a chance to book a ticket in Europe, but a win for them in all their remaining four games of the season will have a long way to go in their continental aspirations. The Azores club will still face Braga, Famalicao, and Farense in their remaining game of the season.
Santa Clara: Lineup
Vasco Matos has all but one of his squad players healthy. Pedro Pacheco is the only player on the team battling an injury, and his absence will have no impact on the team's performance. The team will continue with its 3-4-3 formation, with Gabriel Batista set to maintain his role in the goalkeeping department. The attacking trio of João Costa, Vinícius Lopes, and Gabriel Silva is expected to provide the necessary goals.
🔖Santa Clara possible starting lineup (3-4-3)
Goalkeeper – Gabriel Batista
Defenders – Sidney Lima, Guilherme Ramos, Matheus Nunes MT
Midfielders – Lucas Soares de Almeida, Adriano Firmino, Pedro Ferreira, Matheus Pereira
Attackers — João Costa, Vinícius Lopes, Gabriel Silva

Arouca: Form and statistics
Arouca returned to winning ways with a 1-0 win over Estrela in their last game, with Dylan Nandin scoring the only goal of the game in the 68th minute. The win ended their four-game winless run, but they remain unbeaten in six of their last seven games on the road. Wolves sit 12th on the table with 33 points in 30 games, scoring 30 goals and conceding 45. They are currently nine points off the relegation zone. With the current standings, they appear safe for the season, despite still having 12 points to compete for, where they will still face off against Casa Pia, Gil Vicente, and Boavista in their remaining games.
Arouca: Lineup
Gonzalo García will make changes to his starting lineup in this game after three players were suspended for this clash after receiving yellow cards in their last win against Estrela. Nico Mantl will maintain his spot in goal, but Boris Popovic will replace suspended Jose Fontan as partner to Chico Lamba in the heart of the defense. Mamadou Loum will replace Pedro Santos, and Henrique Araújo will replace Jason in the starting 11.
🔖 Arouca possible starting lineup (4-2-3-1)
Goalkeeper – Nico Mantl

Santa Clara vs Arouca match prediction 26 April 2025
Santa Clara are bookmakers’ favourites in this clash, but a football game isn’t played on paper. The visitors have lost just three of their last 15 games and have won their last four games against the hosts. So, why won’t I back them to pick up at least a point in this game? Regardless, I expect goals from both sides of the net.
