Lisbon, Portugal – E get one match wey dey come for Primeira Liga wey dey make everybody dey excited. Na Estoril Praia go dey face Arouca for Estadio Antonio Coimbra da Mota on Friday, and na dem dey look to continue wetin dem start last week.
Last time, Estoril Praia just come out from winless run wey don last four matches. Na dem left Vila do Conde with four goals after dem tear dem former manager, and dem fans don dey shout, ‘Omo, we don finally land!’ (Like say dem don finish with jollof rice finally).
Arouca on the other side don face wahala. Dem sabi lose two matches back-to-back, and dem dey try put themselves for better position, because if dem no shine for this one, relegation go dey wave dem like green flag for motor race. E no go sweet at all!
Before this match, Estoril don gather ten points from ten matches and dem sit for the 12th position. Arouca dey 13th, just one point higher. Both of dem don score and concede plenty goals, but Estoril dey shine small small – dem don score 15 goals but don concede 14. So, at least dem still fit find net, but e go be better make dem start defend better (no be all about show).
For dis match, Estoril no go fit boast of their home record, wey dey shock dem. Dem don win only one game for home this season. Na the earlier match against bottom-placed AVS dem take chop sweet win. Arouca too no dey shine well-well for away games, with only one victory in four matches. Wetin I go call am? Awon melọ pẹlú ọkọ – na poor form dem be!
For player fitness, Estoril go need make their main striker shine because Antef Tsoungui fit no play again after im injury wey no sweet. But we go look for Kevin Boma and Felix Bacher to carry the defense matter. The hat-trick hero, Begraoui, dey fire on all cylinders, and if dem give am chance, e go fire another round.
As for Arouca, dem still get plenti injury wahala, with Mateo Flores no fit play yet and Matias Rocha fit miss out again. Pedro Santos don dey sideline for some matches, so David Simao go hold midfield. Dem fit still use five at the back to stop Estoril from running them down like na easy track race.
The match go be big affair for both teams, ‘cause na who go fit turn things around first go carry the day. Estoril, wey dey enjoy their latest form, go feel say them get chance to carry the three points home. Arouca too dey find points like treasure, as dem dey near relegation zone. If dem no quick change their form, dem fit go join AVS down the ladder.
As the fans dey expect fireworks and goals, na dem wey fit run the show for dis match, and I go still dey wait to see wetin go happen. E dey look like say Estoril go need to carry their A-game.
