Arouca vs Boavista Prediction
Arouca have nothing left to play for this season, but will want to end their season on a high in their final game of the campaign. The Wolves are the slight favorites in this game and have won each of the last three head-to-head games.
Boavista, for their part, can no longer guarantee automatic survival regardless of their result here. The most they can achieve is securing the relegation playoff spot, which is dependent on them winning here and hoping both AFC and Farense lose their respective final games. However, the Porto outfit have boosted their hopes of retaining their top-flight spot by winning each of their last three away games.
We are backing the home side to claim a narrow win with goals at both ends.
Prediction: Arouca 2-1 Boavista
