by Steve Ashfield in Liga Portugal Predictions
It's going to be a tough weekend for relegation-threatened Arouca as they host Benfica. The home side are 16th in the table with their opponents in third and 17 points ahead of them. Can the Wolves get a shock home win? Read our match prediction.
Arouca are in the relegation play-off position and a point from safety. They are a point above the automatic relegation places but Nacional have a game in hand on them and are home to struggling Boavista on Saturday.
The home side have only won two of their 11 league matches this season and have only two points from their last five. Their couple of wins have come against the two sides below them in the table.
Just six league goals have been scored by them, half at home where they have one win and three losses.
Benfica are third in the table but eight points behind leaders Sporting with a game in hand. The Eagles have won their last three matches but had to come from behind to win at Monaco in the Champions League in midweek.
The goals have been flowing with 14 scored in their last three league and cup matches. On the road, Benfica have won their last two away league fixtures. We tip them to win this and lead at half and full time.
