Team News

Porto
Arouca
  • Samu is enjoying a delightful run of form, scoring in each of his last three appearences and will probably get the nod over Gul upfront.
  • Galeno, Pepê and Varela should return to Starting XI after featuring from the bench last time around.
  • Loum got injured and will join Arouca' extensive list of injured players.
  • Pedro Santos could start if García decides to strengthen Arouca' engine room.

Prediction

  • FC Porto had a difficult trip to Norway, where they lost 3-2 to Bodo Glimt in the UEFA Europa League. Before that, they had been on an almost flawless run with five wins in six games, and it's that streak that they'll be looking to recapture on Sunday.
  • Arouca got back to winning ways in their last game, beating Farense 1-0 away from home. This result was very important for Gonzalo Garcia's men, who were already closing in on the bottom three.
  • Having the better team and playing in front of their supporters, FC Porto can be expected to put last week's defeat behind them and get back to winning ways.
