Estadio Municipal de Arouca will host Friday’s football game between Arouca and Gil Vicente, the two teams who face each other in the opening match of Primeira Liga round 16. Arouca aim to recover from a 3-1 loss to Casa Pia and a win over Gil Vicente could see them escape the relegation zone. Midfielder David Simao serves a one-game ban, while both Kouassi and Moreira are out of contention with injuries.

Os Galos, on the other hand, have been in a fine form of late, beating both Nacional and Farense, while sharing the spoils with reigning champions Sporting CP. Even though the hosts are desperate to pick up all three points from the match, the share of spoils is on the cards as Gil Vicente have found their form. Speaking of the visiting side, South Africa midfielder Sphephelo Sithole continues to miss out with injury.
