Sporting vs Arouca Match Preview

In this Portuguese Primeira Liga football game, we are going to see the duel between Sporting and Arouca. This event will take place at Estádio José Alvalade in Lisbon.

Sporting is the better side here being the top favorite to win this match and they could score one or two early goals against Arouca that sits in the lower part of the table. The hosts right now are chasing first place of the league as they sit in 2nd place with 58 points in 24 matches. They have 6 points less than the leaders of the table, FC Porto. They have scored 47 goals this season while they have conceded only 16 times overall, making them the best defensive side in the league, as no other side has conceded fewer goals than them.

The visitors sit in 15th place of the league with 22 points, only 2 points more than the 16th placed Tondela that sits in the danger zone and risks getting relegated. Arouca has managed to score 23 goals while it has conceded 43 times this season.

In the last 5 matches between these two sides, Sporting has a perfect five-win streak. I am going to back yet another time Sporting to win this match, but this time with half-time and full-time tip 1-1 as I predict here total domination by the hosts, scoring very early on in this match. The final score could be 3:0 here!
