Following a hard-fought 1-0 win over their local rivals Boavista, Porto will look to put an extra pressure on league leaders Benfica when they face Arouca on Matchday 31.
The Dragons are eager to extend their winning run to six games and they are seen as hot favourites to win Monday’s encounter.
Defender Ivan Marcano is banned for the match following his sending-off in the Porto derby, while midfielder Joao Mario remains in the recovery room.
Arouca, on the other hand, aim to make amends for a 1-0 loss to Rio Ave, but they will have a mountain to climb against Sergio Conceicao’s troops.
When the two teams met in the Portuguese Cup earlier in 2023 Porto hammered Arouca 4-0, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on the title-chasing visitors.
Vitinho remains on the sidelines for the home side, while Oday Dabbagh is a major doubt.
