Arouca form and stats
The story so far in the Segunda Liga for Arouca at their home stadium (Estádio Municipal de Arouca) is 2 wins, 2 draws and 0 defeats. In general it's been a long time since Arouca tasted defeat here at Estádio Municipal de Arouca, as they have taken at least one point from their last 18 home games in the league.
A draw after 90 minutes last time out for Arouca, who played 0-0 against Vitoria Guimaraes (after extra-time, 6-7 on penalties). That match was also played at this venue (Estádio Municipal de Arouca). Before that match, a Segunda Liga win away at Feirense.

Porto II form and stats
The visitors are W0-D1-L3 on the road this term. That's in the Segunda Liga. It's looking increasingly bleak for Porto II who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Vilafranquense was the last time a defeat was avoided. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Porto II have lost on their last two travels.
Porto II might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Mafra proved too strong as Porto II slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Estádio Dr. Jorge Sampaio. Prior to that match, the Porto manager R. Soares de Barros faced defeat when travelling to Sporting Covilhã and losing 0-4.
The visitors have scored 3 goals from 4 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Porto have conceded 9 goals in these games.
