Porto, Recent FormPorto enter this game with a comfortable 2-1 away win over Rio Ave last time out in the league. In that game they had 64% possession and managed 10 attempts on goal, with 4 on target, compared to Rio Ave who had 6 attempts and 1 on target.
It's been a rewarding period in front of goal, with 15 goals scored in their last 6 matches; that said, boss Sérgio Conceição will be less happy with his defence, who have conceded 6 goals in the same period. Their goal scoring streak now stands at 12 games in a row, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
The continued consistency shown by Dragões is exceptional, having won 12 consecutive games.
Having scored 6 goals in his last 6 league games for Porto, Mehdi Taremi will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Arouca, Recent FormArouca manager Daniel Ramos will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 1-1 draw in his team's last league outing against Portimonense. They came away from that fixture with a 63% share of the possession and clocked up 16 attempts on goal with 4 on target, in comparison to Portimonense, who managed 4 attempts on goal, 2 of which were on target.
Ramos will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 10 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 8 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games.
Their form has to be regarded as good of late with 5 matches unbeaten from their last 6 and 3 wins bagged along the way.
The last league encounter between these two sides concluded with a 0-1 win for Porto.
Porto will be confident of finding the net in this one against Arouquenses, with an impressive scoring record of at least 1 goal in their previous 12 encounters between the two sides. In their past 5 meetings, Dragões' defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 1 goal, so Arouca will have to take their chances when they come. We have seen plenty of goals from Dragões when they play at home against Arouca. In their last 3 league matches they have scored a total of 11 goals, which is an average of 3.67 goals per game. Arouca have failed score a goal in 4 of their last 5 league meetings with Porto.
Porto will be looking to continue their winning streak against Arouca having won in their last 6 meetings in the league.
Porto manager Sérgio Conceição has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Romário Baró (Muscle), Francisco Evanilson (Muscle) and Gabriel Veron (Muscle) are all currently out of contention for this game.
There is only really one injury concern for the Arouca manager Daniel Ramos ahead of this clash, with Benji Michel (Cruciate ligament) missing out, which gives Ramos a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
