Santa Clara failed to pick up their first win of 2023 as they fell to a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Arouca when the sides squared off last Saturday. In a game where Alan Ruiz’s 49th-minute strike was enough to separate the sides, a lack of sting in attack was the order of the day for the visitors once again as they failed to threaten the Arouquenses.
Indeed, Santa Clara have now gone five of their last seven games without a goal and currently hold the league’s third-worst attacking record with just 14 goals scored so far. Os Acoreanos head into the weekend without a win in 11 consecutive matches across all competitions, picking up three draws and losing eight games since a 3-1 home victory over Estoril Praia on November 14.
Having secured an impressive seventh-placed finish last season, Jorge Simao’s side now face serious threats of relegation and will need a strong second half of the season if they are to avoid returning to the second tier for the first time since 2018.
Santa Clara have picked up three wins, six draws and lost 11 of their 20 matches to collect 15 points and sit 16th in the Primeira Liga table, six points behind Famalicao just outside the danger zone.
