Following a disappointing Champions League loss at Newcastle, Benfica return to domestic action looking to close the gap on table-toppers Porto. The Lisbon giants were humbled in the midweek clash, yet they remain dominant at home and rarely slip up at Estadio da Luz. Injuries to Bruma, Bah, Felix, and Manu are far from ideal, while new signing Dedic remains a major doubt, but squad depth should still make the difference.
Arouca, on the other hand, have been a nightmare away to Benfica in recent years, losing eight of their last nine visits to Lisbon. Mateo Flores’s absence further limits their options in attack. Given the Eagles’ strong home form and desire to make amends, anything but a convincing win for the hosts would be a surprise. Taking everything into account, we predict that the hosts are going to pick up all three points from the match.
This Portugal Primeira Liga match will be played on Saturday 25 October 2025 at 20:30.
