Sporting will be looking to register their third straight Primera Liga win over Arouca on Friday when they two sides meet on Matchday 5 of the new season.
The visitors were the dominant force in the Portuguese top flight last season. Rúben Amorim’s side won the league title with 90 points and were separated from runners-up Benfica by ten points. While winning Liga Portugal for only the first time in three years was a great achievement, the Lions didn't fare so well in cup competitions, something they will be keen to improve on this season.
Arouca's main goal each season is to avoid relegation and they have done just that in each of the last three campaigns. The Wolves finished seventh last season, but they impressed the year before with a top-five finish. The 2024-25 campaign hasn’t started well for Arouca and their fans, with the team boasting just three points from four matches.
Arouca vs Sporting CP Betting Tips: Under 3.5 goals
While Sporting have been dominant in all their Primera Liga games played so far with the visitors scoring averagely four goals per game, Arouca can’t be underestimated at the Estádio Municipal de Arouca. The hosts have lost just two of their last six games at the ground, recording three wins and only one of those encounters produced more than three goals.
Sporting CP have also struggled to score goals in large numbers against Arouca. The Lions more than two goals in each one of the last six meetings between these two sides and bets on under 3.5 goals were won in all six matches.
- Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

Sporting CP team news
Viktor Gy?keres was in great goalscoring form last season, finding the back of the net 29 times in 33 league appearances and the 26-year-old has started the new campaign in similar form.
Boasting seven goals in four league appearances, Gy?keres is expected to lead the line and will be supported in the final third by former Barca man Francisco Trinc?o.
Vladan Kovacevic and Jerry St. Juste will miss this week’s trip to Arouca due to ankle and muscle injuries.
