Porto to Win and Lead at Half Time
While Arouca has done well lately and this season overall since the team is currently fifth in the standings, Porto is still more than twenty points ahead and the difference in quality between these two teams is clear and pretty big.
With that in mind, and considering that the guests need points to stay in the title race with Benfica, our first Arouca vs Porto prediction is for Porto to win the game after also leading at half time.
Mehdi Taremi to Score at Any Time
Since Porto should win this game and we can also see them scoring more than once as well, it is only logical that their best scorer joins the scoresheet in this match.
That is Mehdi Taremi, international from Iran, who currently has sixteen goals in Primeira Liga this season, just one goal behind Benfica's duo of Joao Mario and Goncalvo Ramos. So, our second Arouca vs Porto prediction is for Taremi to score at any time.

Find the latest news and updates about both teams ahead of their duel here, including our predicted Arouca vs Porto lineups:
Arouca
With three wins, two draws, and just one loss in the last six matches in the league, Arouca has been in good form lately and the team is currently sitting in the fifth place in the standings. Although Sporting is far ahead and can't be caught, finishing fifth would secure Arouca European football next season and that would be a great result for them.
When it comes to team news, Joao Basso, Oday Dabbagh, and Vitinho are out with injuries, while Tiago Esgaio is currently suspended.
Arouca Predicted Lineup:
De Arruabarrena – Milovanov, Galovic, Opoku, Quaresma – Simao, Busquets, Ruiz – Antony, Mujica, Sylla
Porto
With five wins in a row, Porto managed to close the gap to Benfica in the title race as they are now just four points behind them. Still, that seems to be a big difference in Primeira Liga, but there are still four games left to be played in the season. In any case, Porto is in great form right now and they can be expected to keep that form going.
Meanwhile, only Joao Mario is currently injured at the club, but Mateus Uribe will also miss this game to serve a suspension.
Porto Predicted Lineup:
Costa – Manafa, Pepe, Marcano, Sanusi – Pepe, Grujic, Eustaquio, Otavio – Evanilson, Taremi
Starting Lineups:
Teams usually release their starting lineups one hour before the kickoff.
