Prediction: 3-0
Arouca
Porto and Arouca go head to head at Estadio do Dragao in a David-vs-Goliath clash. The Dragons aim to keep their title hopes alive, and they have no other option but to go all guns blazing at the visitors. The good news for the hosts is that midfielder Joao Mario has overcome his injury. As a result, boss Sergio Conceicao can count on key players for Wednesday’s clash.
Arouca, on the other hand, suffered a 1-0 loss to Rio Ave before the World Cup break, and seeing that Porto have turned their “Dragao” into a real fortress, we predict that the visiting side will return home empty-handed. In their last meeting at the venue Porto recorded a routine 3-0 win over Arouca. As for the away team, Pedro Moreira is back from injury, but Vitinha remains in the recovery room.
