Prediction: 0-2
Sporting
Buoyed by a 2-0 win over Porto in the Primeira Liga derby, Sporting CP will look to keep their 100% record intact when they take on Arouca on Matchday 5. The Lions are eyeing their fifth consecutive league win and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. All Vladan Kovacevic, Jerry St. Juste, and Diogo Pinto are sidelined with injuries, but Ruben Amorim can count on key players for Friday’s clash.
A man to watch in the away team will be Viktor Gyokeres, who scored three goals for Sweden in back-to-back wins over Azerbaijan and Estonia. Arouca, on the other hand, have already suffered three defeats in the new Primeira Liga campaign and given Sporting’s excellent form, away win should be considered. The likes of Nino Galovic, Quaresma Correia, Jose Fontan, and Kouassi Eboue are out of contention with injuries for the home side.
