Benfica welcome Arouca at Estadio da Luz, Lisboa on Sunday, May 16 at 6:00 PM in a Primeira Liga fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.
Benfica come into this fixture in mixed form (1W 1D 0L). Arouca, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (2W 0D 1L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. Benfica won their last outing, while Arouca suffered defeat — home advantage backed by momentum.
History strongly favours Benfica here — they've won 9 of 10 previous meetings against Arouca, with 1 draws. Their last encounter ended in Arouca won 1–2. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.8 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Benfica a slight edge, but Arouca are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
