How to Watch Sporting CP vs Arouca: Live Streaming and TV Info

On 17th August, 2025, Sunday, Sporting Lisbon will host Arouca in matchday 2 of the 2025-26 season. After their 21st League title last season, the expectations are sky high for the hosts, even though they lost their marquee man, Viktor Gyokeres, up front in this summer window. Both teams had a solid start in the 2025-26 campaign. Sporting CP picked up the three points in a convincing 2-0 score by the goals of Trincao and Hjulmand. On the other hand, Arouca also had the best possible start with a 3-1 victory after the goals from Trezza and co.

Before their clash on Sunday, these two went head-to-head on 19 different occasions. Among these, Sporting CP has won 16 matches, while the travelling side has won only once. After picking up a blow, Diomande will miss out on this fixture. On the other hand, Araujo is a major question, and Reis is also unavailable for Sporting CP. For Arouca, Omar Fayed might just need to wait some more before being a starting XI feature. Both Fontan and Popovic should be the defensive duo for the travelling side. Djouhara and Trezza should start, too. Strictly speaking, about league competition, the hosts have remained unbeaten since last December. Given their winning spree, excluding the cup final against Benfica, it is no wonder that they are the favorites coming into the fixture. On the other hand, even though momentum is on the side of Arouca, their track record against the hosts pretty much gives a glimpse of what Sunday might look like.
