Arouca vs Sporting Prediction: Sporting is back

Sporting Lisbon is back on a winning streak in the national championship. After the hiccups in the match against Boavista, Sporting now has three victories in a row. Casa Pia was beaten in the fight for the fourth place in the table. The host Arouca is also in great form as he is 4 matches without a defeat, a win and 3 draws. The bad news for the host is that besides the good form of Sporting, Arouca never won against this opponent in h2h matches.

Arouca is in 11th place with 13 points, 3 wins, 4 draws and 3 defeats. This team is looking good and shouldn’t have any major troubles to avoid relegation. However, this team doesn’t have very good record when it comes to matches with big teams like Sporting.

After 3 wins in a row, Sporting in now on the 4th place with 19 points, 9 points less than the leader Benfica. Sporting also has very important match next week in the Champions League, but he already lost too many points this season in the league and now he doesn’t have the right to make mistakes if he wants to remain in the battle for the top.

The only problem for Sporting is that he is playing important matches in a short period. He played against Tottenham, now Arouca and next week he will play against Frankfurt in the last round of Champions League group stage. If we take a look in the previous matches between these team Sporting should win here without trouble and these teams are always rewarding us with many goals.
