Arouca vs Casa Pia, 20 December 2026, Primeira Liga: form, head-to-head and match facts

Arouca head into the clash with Casa Pia buoyed by a solid start to the season, sitting fifth in the table with ten points from three wins, a draw and two defeats, and a comfortable +3 goal difference. Their opponents, Casa Pia, languish at the foot of the league in eighteenth place, having amassed only a single point from a solitary draw and five losses, and a worrying –14 goal deficit. The disparity in form is stark, with Arouca’s attack already finding the net eight times while conceding just five, contrasted with Casa Pia’s lone goal scored against fifteen conceded. If the recent head‑to‑head pattern holds, Arouca will look to extend their dominance at home and further widen the gap to the leaders, while Casa Pia will need a radical turnaround to avoid slipping deeper into the relegation zone.
