Arouca and Sporting CP meet at Municipal de Arouca, Arouca on Sunday, Feb 28 at 6:00 PM with both clubs firmly in the mix for the European places in the Primeira Liga. Just 1 point separate them in the standings.
Arouca come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 0D 1L). Sporting CP, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (2W 1D 0L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. Arouca head into this on the back of a defeat, while Sporting CP arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.
Despite playing at home, Arouca face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Sporting CP have won 7 of 10 encounters, with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in Sporting CP won 2–1. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.8 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Arouca a slight edge, but Sporting CP are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
