Porto host Arouca at the Estadio do Dragao in the Primeira Liga on Sunday (September 3).
After three rounds played, the three teams lead the standings on nine points, with Vitoria de Guimaraes leading Porto on goal difference. Second-placed Porto won 1-0 against Arouca in their previous encounter.
The Dragoes had a satisfactory campaign last season, winning the Taca de Portugal and Taca da Liga (Portuguese League Cup), but failed to defend their title in the top flight. They finished second in the Primeira Liga behind winners Benfica. Porto are expected to capitalize on their home advantage (three wins in five matches) against Arouca.
The visitors are winless in three games and are out of the UEFA European Conference League. Arouca have won once and drawn twice in the top flight, leaving them in fifth place with five points.
The Arouquenses’ only success against Porto dates back to February 2016 in an away game when they won 2-1 at home. Their last three trips to the Estadio do Dragao ended in embarrassing defeats – 4-0, 5-1 and 5-1. Their road record is unconvincing, with just one win from five outings.
