- 20' Hyun-Ju Lee needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 25' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FC Arouca that had 171 games and scored 181 goals.

- 35' Supporters expect more eagerness from Nais Djouahra, as he is very good at scoring at Estadio Municipal de Braga with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
