Arouca, Recent FormWhen Arouca last played in the league they faced Estrela Amadora and produced an outstanding 4-1 away win. Their share of possession in that meeting was 62%, while racking up 19 shots along the way, 8 of which were on target, in contrast to Estrela Amadora, who had 5 shots on goal with 1 on target.
While they have been strong in attack with 13 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 6 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. They have been unable to score at home in 4 of their last 6 games, and so far this season they have conceded at least 1 goal in 13 of their 15 games overall.
They've had a terrible run of form at Estádio Municipal de Arouca recently and having lost 4 of their last 6 home games managing just 1 win.
Rafa Mújica will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 5 goals in the last 6 league games for Arouca.
Benfica, Recent FormIn their last league encounter, Benfica racked up a stunning 3-0 home win against Famalicão. They came away from that fixture with a 57% share of the possession and clocked up 16 attempts on goal with 11 on target, in comparison to Famalicão, who managed 14 attempts on goal, 2 of which were on target.
Manager Roger Schmidt will be pleased with his team's performances recently, having only conceded 2 in their last 6 games, while still managing to score a respectable 9 goals. Away from home, they are currenlty on a run of 4 consecutive clean sheets, and they've scored in 14 of their 15 games overall this season.
Their impressive run of form, both away and at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 14 games in a row.
With 3 goals scored in his last 6 away games for Benfica, Ángel Di María will be looking to add more goals against Arouca in this match.
After a good 0-3 win for Benfica in this pair's last league encounter, Arouca will certainly be looking for a better result this time round.
As Águias will be looking to extend their current run of 5 clean sheets against Arouca. Goals should be on the cards for As Águias in this one, given they have found the net, with at least 1 goal, against Arouca in their last 7 meetings together. When it comes to breaching the opposition defence, Benfica know how to do it against Arouquenses, having clocked up 14 goals against them in their previous 5 meetings. The Benfica defence tends to hold pretty firm when they visit Arouquenses in the league, with Benfica conceding just 1 goal in their last 3 meetings.
In the last 3 league meetings between the teams at Estádio Municipal de Arouca, Benfica has taken all 3 points and has not lost away to Arouca in 3 games.
With no real injury worries, Arouca manager Daniel Sousa will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Roger Schmidt has a number of injury concerns in his Benfica squad to contend with: Alexander Bah (Thigh), Ángel Di María (Personal reasons), David Neres (Meniscus) and Nicolás Otamendi (Personal reasons)
