Porto vs Arouca Prediction & Betting Tips - Liga Portugal

Prediction published on 29/09/2024, 04:18  by Devesh Jaganath in Liga Portugal Predictions

Porto will continue their Primeira Liga campaign this Sunday night when they host Arouca at the Estadio do Dragao. The Dragoes have earned 15 points from their first six matches in the league, while the Lobos are in the bottom half of the table with six points over the same period. Let's get into the match prediction. 

Although The Blue and Whites had managed to strike first in their midweek UEFA Europa League matchup against Bodo/Glimt, they could only watch as the Norwegian-based side constructed an inspired 3-2 comeback to keep all three points in Bodo.

That result would be The Dragons' second loss in their last eight matches across all competitions, their only other defeat was against current unbeaten league leaders Sporting Lisbon.

At home, Porto will look to preserve their nine-match win streak across all competitions, with clean sheets earned in six of those matches.

Arouquenses earned their second league win of the season last weekend when they saw off bottom-rooted side Farense 1-0.

With that win, Arouca would see themselves move out of the relegation zone and into 14th position, but with only two wins out of their last six domestic matches, they will need to muster up some more positive performances to save themselves from the drop.

Just a single clean sheet from four matches this campaign when The Wolves have been on the road is a cause for concern, as the three matches Arouca have lost have averaged three goals against them.
