Prediction

  • FC Arouca had another wonderful attacking showing last weekend as they've defeated GD Chaves by 5-1, meaning that they have the 4th best offensive record in the league alongside FC Porto. They're likely to be confident here.
  • Sporting CP had to struggle to beat SC Farense by 3-2 last time around as they wasted a 2-goal lead. That was followed by a 1-1 draw against Atalanta in midweek where Rúben Amorim rotated his side - the league is the main focus for the Lions.
  • This will be no walk in the park for Sporting who will face a side that already beaten FC Porto by 3-2. In fact, given Rúben Amorim' men defensive woes, it wouldn't be a surprise if FC Arouca managed to score more than once in order to get all three points.
