Team News

Arouca
Benfica
  • Sylla should start at the middle of the park as Vitinho is injured.
  • Mujica scored 5 goals in his last 4 appearences and will be full of beans here.
  • Di María and Otamendi are expected to get their Starting XI spots back after missing out against FC Famalicão.
  • Petar Musa made an impact coming from the bench, with a goal and an assist, and could lead the line here.

Prediction

  • FC Arouca got an amazing 4-1 win over Estrela on their last match of 2023. They've been prolific upfront, scoring 13 goals in 4 matches under Daniel Sousa', with Mujica, Jason and Cristo in wonderful form.
  • SL Benfica defeated FC Famalicão last time around and were able to pressure Sporting CP at the top of the table. The Eagles are enjoying a 4-match winning run that they will look to extend in Arouca.
  • This, however, will be no easy task for Roger Schdmit' men as they face a super confident FC Arouca. However, having a better team they're expected to come out on top.
