Arouca vs Sporting CP Prediction (24.01.2026)

Sporting Lisbon has been performing exceptionally well in the championship so far, with 14 wins and only one loss from 18 matches played. Despite their good form, they are trailing by a full seven points behind the leader Porto, and every match is significant for them. The current match against Arouca presents an opportunity to quickly reduce the gap, as the team is expected to approach the game with a serious desire for victory.

Arouca occupies low positions in the table and has serious defensive problems. They concede many goals and have not won against Sporting in the last seven direct encounters. Earlier in the season, Sporting achieved a convincing 6:0 victory, highlighting the difference between the two teams.

Given Sporting's dominance and Arouca's weaknesses, the most logical expectation is for a victory by more than one goal difference. The team has enough quality and scoring ability to impose superiority and cover the handicap.
