Benfica will hope to bounce back from the midweek defeat in the Champions League when they host Arouca in a Portuguese Primeira Liga matchday nine fixture. This match on Saturday at Estadio da Luz between the third-placed Eagles and the 11th-placed Wolves comes with our prediction of BTTS.
After eight rounds, Benfica’s 18 points (W5, D3) put them four points behind leaders Porto. Arouca’s nine points (W2, D3, L3) put them just three points above the relegation zone.
A 3-0 away defeat at Newcastle in the Champions League during the week underlined Benfica’s problems of inconsistency this season. They haven’t won consecutive games since the start of September.
Although they remain unbeaten in the league this season, Benfica have drawn three of their last five league matches (W2, D3). A 0-0 draw came away at Porto before the international break, while they have an unbeaten record at home in the league this season (W2, D2).
Arouca earned a crucial 2-1 away win at Portimonense in the Taca de Portugal last week. It was just their second win in the last eight competitive matches (W2, D3, L3).
Even in the league, the visitors won just once in their last seven matches (W1, D3, L3), although four points in their last two away league trips suggest they can be a tricky visitor.

Our Benfica Lisbon vs Arouca Prediction
Jose Mourinho will be under pressure to deliver after losing 3-0 to Newcastle United in the midweek Champions League fixture. They are yet to impress under Mourinho but will not look to lose ground here. Arouca have been impressive in recent times, but losing against Sporting by a 6-0 score and against FC Porto by a 4-0 score is an indicator of their weakness against top-three opposition. That said, Benfica struggled to keep a clean sheet in their last three home league games.
The visitors may surprise with a goal, and our Benfica Lisbon vs Arouca prediction is BTTS.
