Merelinense

Uniao Santarem have struggled for consistent offensive output, scoring three goals across their last five games and being shut out three times in that span. Their two recent home matches produced low scorelines of 1-0 and 1-1. Merelinense showed defensive solidity by keeping a clean sheet in their 2-0 win against Atletico Arcos, pointing toward a closely contested cup tie where chances may be limited.

Merelinense have demonstrated solid form in front of their home supporters, winning all three of their recent home matches in the available record against Tirsense, Monção, and Pedras Salgadas. Conversely, Atlético Arcos have failed to record a victory in their last five fixtures, suffering four defeats and conceding 12 goals across that span. Backing Merelinense on the double chance provides a well-calibrated position covering both the home victory and a potential stalemate in standard time.
