Benfica Form

Benfica have won their previous nine matches in the Primeira Liga, scoring 3+ goals in eight of those victories. They saw their Champions League run come to an end against Barcelona in the round of 16, a 1-0 defeat in Lisbon and 3-1 loss in Spain.

The Eagles’ last game in the Liga was an important one, a 4-1 win in Porto which saw them take top spot off Sporting CP. Vangelis Pavlidis hit a hat-trick with Nicolas Otamendi wrapping it up in added time.

Bruno Lage’s side thrashed Tirsense 5-0 in the Portuguese Cup semi-final first leg on Wednesday. The match against the fourth division club was played in Barcelos where João Rêgo, Gianluca Prestianni, Arthur Cabral and Andreas Schjelderup found the net.

Arouca Form

Arouca have won one of their previous eight matches, a 1-0 victory at relegation threatened AVS on 8 March.

Vasco Seabra’s side returned home and drew 1-1 against Estoril, ending the game with 3-12 shots and conceding in the 91st minute. They then managed one shot on target in a 2-1 defeat in Braga.

The Wolves put in an improved performance against Famalicao on Saturday but couldn’t avoid another defeat. Jason saw his penalty saved before they fell behind, Henrique Araújo equalising from the spot but their leaky defence conceding again in the 76th minute.

Injuries & Team News

Benfica are missing the injured Alexander Bah, Manu Silva and Renato Sanches.

Expect Lage to bring Anatolii Trubin, Álvaro Carreras, Orkun Kökçü, Kerem Aktürkoglu and Vangelis Pavlidis back into the starting side here.

Central defence is a problem for Arouca with Nino Galovic recovering from a cruciate ligament injury and Chico Lamba suspended.

Right-back Tiago Esgaio is out for the season alongside midfielder David Simão who has a broken leg.

Pablo Gozálbez, Dylan Nandí and Matías Rocha are on the treatment table and striker Henrique Araújo cannot face his parent club.

Predicted Starting Lineups

Benfica (4-2-3-1): Anatolii Trubin; Tomás Araújo, António Silva, Nicolás Otamendi, Álvaro Carreras; Florentino Luís, Orkun Kökçü; Ángel Di María, Fredrik Aursnes, Kerem Aktürkoglu; Vangelis Pavlidis.

Arouca (4-2-3-1): Nico Mantl; Alex Pinto, Boris Popovic, José Fontán, Weverson; Mamadou Loum, Taichi Fukui; Alfonso Trezza, Jason, Morlaye Sylla; Güven Yalçin.
