Football betting tips for Benfica – Arouca
Benfica hosts Arouca in the first round of the 4th Round of the Taca de Portugal. The meeting will take place on Thursday evening at Estadio da Luz in Lisbon as the hosts are the big favorites for the victory.
This week will play the 1/16-finals in the tournament Taca de Portugal. The Benfica and Arouca teams have begun the match, as the tournament organizers have scheduled the match for the Lisbon Eagles on Thursday to allow the hosts to have more time to rest for the Bayern Munchen match in the Champions League on Tuesday.
Benfica scored first success since mid-October in his last game on Nov. 11, when he beat Tondela with 3:1 as a guest. The hosts are in 4th place in the league with 20 points. Benfica had some difficulties early in the month, failing in two of his households – 1:1 against Ajax and a 1:3 defeat from Moreirense. Rui Vitoria’s pupils should now be in better shape and easily win the upcoming game, but what can we expect from Arouca?
Guests compete in the Portuguese second division Segunda Liga. They are 13th in the table after 3 wins, 1 draw and 5 losses this season. Arouca won three of his last five matches in all tournaments, with only one defeat for that period. In their last match, the guests dealt with the Leixoes team with a 2-0 win. Now, however, Arouca’s team has a hard time visiting Estadio da Luz.
Arouca lost his last visit to this stadium with 0:3 on February 10 last year. Quim Machado’s team has five losses in six games as Benfica’s guest. I think the Arouca team will not be able to confront their opponents and will lose at least two goals difference.
