Arouca Benfica betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

After the loss of points from the last matchday, a strong response is expected from Benfica, which should try to get into the match well, even to not allow Arouca to gain confidence over time. Under pressure will also be Evangelista's team, which has shown some defensive weaknesses, which could make the red team manage to create several and the best goal opportunities, from the first 45 minutes.

Preview
Arouca and Benfica face at Estádio Municipal de Arouca, in a match for the 19th round of the Primeira Liga. In the last league head‑to‑head, played in 14‑08‑2021, Benfica got a home win by (2‑0). In 2 head‑to‑heads in the last 3 years, the away team won 2. The home/away factor is worth special atention, since although this is a match between 17th and 3rd of the league table, it’s also a match between the 11th best team in home matches and the 2nd best in away matches.

Analysis Arouca

After 3 wins, 5 draws and 9 losses, the home team is in the 17th position, havinf won 14 points so far. In the last match, they have lost in an away match against Belenenses by (2‑1), after in the previous match they have lost (0‑6) at home, against Sporting Braga. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, since they have won 4 points in away matches, with 7 goals scored and 15 conceded, against 10 points won at their stadium, with 10 goals scored and 18 conceded. In the last 8 home league matches Arouca has a record of 3 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses, so they have won 10 points out of 24 possible. In their home league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 0‑1 (4 out of 8 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. There is a tendency for goals in their home matches, since 6 of the last 8 for this competition have ended with Over 2,5 goals. They have conceded the first goal in 10 of their 17 matches for this competition, and have only turned the score around in 1.

Arouca is experiencing difficulties in the fight for maintenance, after having already shown the quality to do better than they are now. At this point, the team led by coach Armando Evangelista occupies the 17th and penultimate place in the league table, with 14 points, two behind Moreirense, Famalicão and Vizela and with an advantage of three over the last placed Belenenses. Without winning for five consecutive games, the Arouquense team saw their game with Estoril, from the last round, be postponed, so they have not competed for about a week and a half, since the defeat on the visit to Belenenses, by 2- 1. On the occasion, Evangelista's team added the second defeat in a row, after being thrashed against Braga, by 0-6.

Confirmed Lineup: Victor Hugo, Abdoulaye Ba, João Basso, Thales, Quaresma, Kouassi Eboue, Leandro Silva, David Simão, Andre Watshini Bukia, Arsénio, Adílio Santos.
Coach: D. Lopes Ramos.

Analysis Benfica

The away team is currently in the 3rd position of the league, with 40 points won, after 13 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in a home match against Paços de Ferreira, by (2‑0). In the last match, they tied in a home match against Moreirense, by (1‑1). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since they have won 22 points in away matches and 18 at their stadium, with 24 goals scored and 9 conceded at home, against 26 goals scored and 7 conceded in away matches. Their last away match for this competition ended in a loss by (3‑1) against Porto. In the last 9 away league matches Benfica has a record of 7 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, so they have won 22 points out of 27 possible. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored at least one goal in each of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 18 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 5 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

Benfica has been far below expectations in the fight for the title, a dream that already seems more like a mirage, due to the nine points behind the leadership of rival FC Porto. At this stage, the team led by coach Nélson Veríssimo is in 3rd place in the Bwin League, with 41 points, eight more than Braga and six behind Sporting, in second place. With only one victory in the last four matches, the red team comes from another loss of points in the championship, last weekend, when they received Moreirense (1-1). A game marked by the inconsequential red dominance, by the difficulty in breaking the defensive organization of the opponent. Thus, the “eagles” were further away from the top-2 of the table and again disappointed, after winning in the reception to Paços Ferreira (2-0).

Confirmed Lineup: Odysseas Vlachodimos, Nicolás Otamendi, Jan Vertonghen, Álex Grimaldo, Valentino Lazaro, João Mário, Rafa Silva, Paulo Bernardo, Julian Weigl, Darwin Nuñez, Roman Yaremchuk.
Coach: R. Schmidt.
