While the visitors are currently leading the way in the division with 12 points after four matches, the hosts are down in 14th place on three points through the same number of points.

Arouca failed to get to a dream start to the 2024-25 Primeira Liga campaign as they suffered a 1-0 defeat to Vitoria Guimaraes in their league opener, before losing 3-1 away to Moreirense in their second game.

They were then able to pick up their first points in a narrow 1-0 home victory over Nacional in their third attempt, but they failed to build on that win as they lost 1-0 away to Rio Ave last time out.

Meanwhile, despite suffering a 4-3 defeat to Porto in the Super Cup in their opening 2024-25 campaign match, Sporting Lisbon have made an impressive start to league season so far.

They kicked of their league campaign with a 3-1 home victory over Rio Ave on August 9, before they thrashed Nacional 6-1 away from home.

Sporting Lisbon went on to beat Farense 5-0 away from home in their third game of the new season, before securing a 2-0 home victory over Porto last time out.
