Rafa Mujica, a former Las Palmas striker, put on a display of the greatest calibre as he scored three goals at the Estadio Cidade de Barcelos to advance the visitors to the round of 16. This was a match in which Villodres and Lucas Cunha were sent off.
Arouca now switch their focus to the Primeira Liga, where they defeated Vizela 1-0 at the Estadio do FC Vizela last weekend to earn consecutive victories for the first time since August. Since a 2-1 defeat to Boavista at home on September 11, Armando Evangelista’s team has gone undefeated in each of their past eight games in all competitions, recording five victories and three ties.

Arouca vs Rio Ave Prediction
We say: Arouca 2-1 Rio Ave
With five victories and three draws in their past eight games across all competitions, Arouca enters the weekend in excellent form. We are betting on the Arouquenses to win for the fourth time in a row since Rio Ave has struggled on the road this year.
Rio Ave will have a slight advantage here despite the fact that neither of them has a clear advantage in the head-to-head recordings due to their recent struggles on the road. Arouca, that has won all three of its home games, will be in the best mood and have the best chance of succeeding.
In light of all these findings, we prefer to support the home team to triumph when they play Rio Ave on Saturday.

Betting tips
over 2.5 Arouca has struggled to keep a clean sheet at home despite recent success, as seen by their series of victories. A deluge of goals scored by the opponents makes the shocking clean sheet against Sporting CP stand out. Even though the recently promoted team does not score many goals on the road, the tendency against Rio Ave should continue.
