Benfica will be hoping to open a five-point gap at the Primeira Liga summit when they host Arouca this Sunday. Heading into this matchday 29 encounter, Benfica are separated from Arouca by 39 points and 11 places. We have a prediction for the match below.
Benfica benefitted from Sporting Lisbon’s slip last time out to go top of the league standings. As Sporting played out a 1-1 draw with Braga, Benfica thrashed Porto 4-1 and opened a two-point buffer.
The target now is to keep adding to that gap as much as possible before their final day matchup with second-placed Sporting. With 13 wins in 14 home league games, Arouca shouldn’t be a team to worry Benfica.
In each of the last 12 meetings between these teams, Arouca lost. Their hopes of bagging three points in this game are almost nil even as they have everything to play for here.
The visitors are just six points above the relegation region and will want to move as far away as possible in the remaining six matches. Arouca’s survival quest has suffered a number of setbacks in recent times.
They are coming from a 2-1 home loss to Famalicao. That was their third defeat in the last five league matches, and they have just one win in the last eight.
