Porto have followed 0-2 home defeat in Champions League against Juventus with two victories in domestic league over Boavista, 1-0, and Nacional, 7-0. The team is currently second in the league with 59 points gained in 24 matches and sit only one point behind the leaders Benfica with 10 matches remaining to play. So, it’s fair to say all battle for the title if yet to come. The Dragons played 11 matches on the road this term, taking 22 points with 17 goals scored and only four allowed. The visiting side had won their last three away matches with 5-1 on aggregate.
Arouca and Porto have faced one another seven times before. Six of these games were won by Porto, including one in the reverse fixture earlier this season, 3-0. We should expect the visiting side to take another win and continue their race with Benfica for the league title.
Prediction for the match: Porto to win with -1.0 Asian handicap.
