Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 0-2
Sporting
After surviving Farense, Sporting CP will look to retain top position in the Primeira Liga standings when they take on Arouca on Sunday evening. The Lions are eyeing their eighth away win of the process, but they will have to prove their worth on the field. Viktor Gyokeres is widely expected to return to the starting XI after coming as a substitute in a 1-1 draw with Atalanta, whereas all Adan, Goncalves, and Inacio should miss out with injuries.
Arouca, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Famalicao and Chaves, but they will have a mountain to climb against the league leaders. As Sporting have won four of their last five away games in the national championship, we predict that Ruben Amorim’s men are going to pick up all three points from the round 25 clash. To make things even worse for the home side, defender Robson Bambu limped off with injury in the last league match.
