Porto v Arouca Betting Tips [11 January 2023]

Porto and Arouca will face off in the Round of 16 of the Taca Portugal at the Dragao stadium. This match will be a crucial one for both teams as they look to advance in the competition and secure a spot in the quarter  finals. Porto had a tough match in their last outing, as they were held against Casa Pia and were unable to score even after playing with an extra man for an entire half, ending their four-game winning streak, Despite this, Porto have been in strong form recently and will be looking to bounce back with a victory in this match. They have remained undefeated in their last twelve games and have kept clean sheets in seven of them.In their previous meeting with Arouca, Porto dismantled them with a 5-1 victory, with Mehdi Taremi recording a hat trick. 

While this was a dominant performance, it is worth noting that four of the last five matches between these two teams at the Dragao have featured under 3.5 goals. This suggests that the match may be more closely contested than the previous meeting, with both teams potentially focusing on defence in order to secure a result. Arouca, on the other hand, had a strong 2-0 victory against Estoril at the weekend and will be looking to carry that momentum into this match. They are currently in seventh place in the league and have conceded just one loss in their last seven games, with that loss coming against Porto a week ago. Despite this, Arouca have been extremely successful on the road, with just one loss in eleven away games and winning seven of them. Nine of those eleven away games have featured under 3.5 goals.
