Prediction

  • Expectations were high and so FC Arouca's start to the season has not been what fans had hoped for. Still, the team has been competitive and will have taken advantage of the international break to correct mistakes and try to surprise Sporting.
  • Sporting could hardly have asked for a better start to the Liga Portugal 2024/25 season, having won every game they've played, including the ‘Clássico’ against direct rivals FC Porto. The Lions have been effective in front of goal and it's to be hoped that the international break hasn't impacted their momentum.
  • Although it's traditionally difficult to play in Arouca, it's highly unlikely that the hosts will be able to surprise Sporting on Friday. A comfortable win for the Lions is the most likely scenario here.
