FC Porto vs Arouca Prediction & Betting Tips (29 September)

High-flying FC Porto have been in tremendous form on their own patch of late, securing six wins in eight matches, and they are unbeaten in seven top-flight fixtures against these opponents, winning three of the last four. Arouca, meanwhile, have found the going tough on their Liga Portugal travels for quite some time, recording just three wins in 19 games.

Somewhat incredibly, 18 of the previous 18 Arouca away matches in the Liga Portugal have served up over 2.5 goals, so the club from the capital have been the epitome of consistency on this particular front. Not only that, but seven of the last nine FC Porto home games at this elite domestic level have also delivered a minimum of three successful strikes.

At least one of the two goalkeepers has emerged with a clean sheet from 15 of the previous 18 league games involving Arouca, and both of their meetings with FC Porto last season finished goalless. Speaking of the hosts, eight of their most recent 12 home matches have followed the same pattern, so anyone expecting a thriller is likely to be disappointed by this contest.
