Arouca and FC Porto meet at Municipal de Arouca, Arouca on Sunday, Jan 31 at 6:00 PM with both clubs firmly in the mix for the European places in the Primeira Liga. Just 3 points separate them in the standings.
Arouca come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 0D 1L). FC Porto, meanwhile, arrive in good form (3W 0D 0L recently) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. Arouca head into this on the back of a defeat, while FC Porto arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.
Despite playing at home, Arouca face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. FC Porto have won 8 of 10 encounters, with 1 draws. Their last encounter ended in Arouca won 0–2. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.2 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Arouca a slight edge, but FC Porto are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
