Down to 9 men, CD Santa Clara were unable to hold onto a 1-goal lead to Boavista and left Estádio do Bessa empty-handed. The Azoreans are yet to win this season and will look to capitalize on the home factor to do so.
After losing to SL Benfica by 4-0 on their season opener, FC Arouca reacted with a solid defensive performance against Gil Vicente, which earned them all three points. Armando Evangelista's men will aim for another fine display at the back in order to get at least a point from their trip to Azores.
