Porto vs Arouca Betting Tips

Porto have won two straight games since their shock loss to Vitoria Guimaraes. They are in an unenviable position of trying to chase down Benfica and Sporting Lisbon, both teams are two wins ahead of last year’s runners up at the moment.

Arouca are ninth in the Portuguese Primeira Liga, but it’s a tough time to travel to Porto carrying a four-game win-less streak into this match-up. Results include a 2-2 draw with Pacos Ferreira and defeats to Benfica and Moreirense.

Head-to-Head

In five all-time matches between Arouca and Porto, the latter has won all five. Four of those wins have come by four goals or more, including a 3-1 win earlier this year.

Team News

Ivo Rodriguez is suspended for an otherwise fully fit and available Arouca squad, while Porto appear to have no concerns at this time.

Reason for Betting Tips

Porto have dominated this match-up historically, they have a bit of form rolling, they’ve got home field advantage and they’re playing a team starved of wins in recent weeks. We’ll back Porto to pick up a comfortable and relatively easy victory.
