Our prediction for this Portugal Primeira Liga match:
Benfica
Match Time & Date:

19:00
Prediction: 2-0
Arouca
Benfica will be looking to build on a 2-1 win over Moreirense when they take on Arouca in the first home game of the season. The Eagles are seen as hot favourites to beat the newcomers at home ground, but they can’t afford any complacency in Saturday’s football match. Midfielder Diogo Goncalves is banned for the hosts, while all Seferovic, Pinho, and Almeida are likely to miss the game with injuries.
Talented attacker Goncalo Ramos, on the other hand, should be fit to face Arouca. The visitors, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 2-0 loss to Estoril, which is yet another reason why we are tempted to put our money on the title-chasing side. In their last meeting in the Portuguese top flight Benfica outplayed Arouca 3-0.
