Benfica, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 2-0 away defeat by Famalicão will have left the Benfica squad feeling a little deflated. Their share of possession in that meeting was 58%, while racking up 18 shots along the way, 10 of which were on target, in contrast to Famalicão, who had 12 shots on goal with 4 on target.
Manager Roger Schmidt will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 11 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 6 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 29 of their 32 games this season, and of the 16 games they have played at home, they've notched up 9 clean sheets.
They are showing impressive form at home with a run of 10 straight wins in a row and added to that are unbeaten at Estádio da Luz in 19 league games.
Arouca, Recent FormArouca manager Daniel Sousa will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 0-0 draw in his team's last league outing against Estrela Amadora. They came away from that fixture with a 71% share of the possession and clocked up 23 attempts on goal with 2 on target, in comparison to Estrela Amadora, who managed 6 attempts on goal, 1 of which were on target.
Sousa will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 10 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 5 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but so far this season they have conceded a goal at least once in 27 of their 32 games.
There will be mixed feelings from Arouquenses, while they've been undefeated in their last 6 league games, they've only manage a drawn in 3 of them.
With 5 goals scored in his last 6 away games for Arouca, Rafa Mújica will be looking to add more goals against Benfica 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.
Benfica will be looking to extend their current run of 6 clean sheets against Arouquenses. Benfica will feel sure their attacking prowess will yield results in this one, having scored at least 1 goal in the previous 8 encounters with Arouquenses. We have seen plenty of goals from As Águias when they play at home against Arouca. In their last 3 league matches they have scored a total of 9 goals, which is an average of 3 goals per game.
Undefeated in their last 8 league encounters against Arouca, Benfica have dominated this fixture in recent times, winning the last 8 times in a row.
With Tomás Araújo (Ankle) and Juan Bernat (Thigh) both unavailable and Alexander Bah (Muscle) being out for the rest of the season, Benfica manager Roger Schmidt will be glad to have no other major fitness concerns going into this tie.
Arouca manager Daniel Sousa has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
