Arouca
Match Time & Date:

02:00 PM
Prediction: 0-2
Benfica
Benfica will look to keep their title hopes alive when they take on Arouca at Estadio Municipal de Arouca on Friday evening. The Eagles dropped two points in a 1-1 draw with Moreirense, meaning that they are desperate to return to winning ways in the national championship. Uruguay international Darwin Nunez, who scored his 14th goal of the season at the weekend, will be the man to watch in the away team, while Everton has been tested positive for coronavirus.
Arouca, on the other hand, have been struggling in Primeira Liga of late, with the team losing to both Braga (0-6) and Belenenses (1-2) in the previous two league fixtures. Considering that Benfica are desperate to stay in the title race, we do not believe that the relegation-threatened hosts are capable of grabbing something from the match. Marco Soares is on international duty, while all Castro, Yaw, and Velazquez should miss out with injuries for the hosts.
