Porto will look to maintain their perfect start to the Primeira Liga season when they welcome Arouca to the Estadio do Dragao. The Dragons have collected maximum points from their opening two matches, beating Alverca 2-0 before recording another 2-0 victory over Rio Ave. Porto have also won seven of their last 10 matches, while their home defensive record is particularly impressive, conceding just 0.29 goals per game across that period. There are no fresh injury concerns, with summer signing Hwang In-Beom pushing for a starting berth.
Arouca have also made a flying start, defeating Guimaraes 1-0 and Moreirense 4-0 to maintain their 100% record. They have won seven of their last 10 overall and boast an impressive 2.80 goals-per-game average. However, this will be a major test against a Porto side that has dominated this fixture historically. The Dragons have won 16 of the previous 19 meetings, with Arouca managing just two victories. Defender Diogo Monteiro returns from suspension for the visitors.
As Porto have won 16 of the last 19 H2H meetings and made a flying start to the season, Home Win should be considered, alongside Porto to Win to Nil and Under 3.5 goals (The Dragons have conceded just 0.60 goals per game in their last 10).
This Portugal Primeira Liga match will be played on Sunday 23 August 2026 at 20:30.
