Portimonense - Arouca predictions

Though the match can honestly go either way, Portimonense will be at a bit of a disadvantage. Their victory is priced at 2.93 despite the home-field advantage, so they’ll need to bring their A-game.

Despite playing away, Arouca are more likely to win this showdown than the hosts. It’s not a done deal, of course. Considering the betting odds for an away win are set at 2.43, we’re in for a close game.

It’s fair to say even the most avid Portimonense supporters were surprised to see their team land a comprehensive Boavista victory in the last round of the Primeira Liga. Having taken an early lead, Portimonense smelled blood and went for the jugular resulting in a big-margin, morale-boosting triumph.

Arouca’s performance was quite impressive in their latest game against Vizela. The 5:0 victory itself may have been predictable considering they were the hosts in a favourable matchup, but the overwhelming success which they achieved it is worth noting.

Portimonense have a notably poor defensive record when it comes to playing as visitors. We’re mostly referring to the 5 conceded goals over their latest 3 away games. They are playing as hosts this time around, but you should be aware before you put down any money.

The visitors are on a bit of a purple patch when it comes to scoring, with 5 goals scored in total in their latest 3 Primeira Liga matches. If the trend continues, we’re bound to see a pretty exciting game here.

Arouca may be the favourites in this matchup, but they failed to press that advantage when they met Portimonense earlier in the season. This earlier bout ended in a draw, so the away team will be looking to redeem themselves.

Due to the absence of injuries or suspensions, both teams will have their complete lineups available for an exciting match.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 2.06 odds offered at 1xbet.
