Daniel Ramos' Arouca host mighty Benfica, managed by Jose Mourinho, in the Portuguese Primeira Liga this weekend. The Estadio Municipal Arouca will be hoping to witness the home town Wolves inflict a first league defeat of the season on the visiting Eagles. Will our match prediction back the visiting Reds for an expected win, or can Arouca spring an upset?
The league table does not make great reading for Arouca fans. Their team lie in eleventh position in the table with 26 points from 25 games, but they have shipped 53 goals, the second most of any team in the top division. Benfica lie third on 59 points, seven behind leaders FC Porto also having played 25 games.
Arouca's recent form has been a little mixed. They went down to a 3-2 defeat away to Casa Pia but followed that up with a 3-0 win in a bad-tempered game with Nacional. However, they then went down 3-1 away to leaders FC Porto and last time out went down to a narrow 1-0 defeat away at Famalicao.
Benfica's recent for has been solid if unspectacular in the league. A 3-0 win at AVS at home was followed by their Champions League second leg at home against Real Madrid, which they lost 2-1 on the night and 3-1 on aggregate. They bounced back to beat Gil Vicente 2-1 away, before a late comeback earned a 2-2 home draw with FC Porto last weekend.

Our Arouca vs Benfica Lisbon Prediction
Our prediction for the Arouca vs. Benfica Primeira Liga match is: Benfica wins and BTTS - No.
It is fair to say that Benfica start this game as hige favourites, even if they are seven points adrift of top side FC Porto. The Eagles record against the Wolves is outstanding and they have not conceded a goal in five of the last six games against the home team. With league points a must, we expect Benfica to be strong once again on the road and land the win to nil here.
