In their previous league fixture, Arouca managed a remarkable 4-0 home win against Portimonense. Their share of possession in that meeting was 55%, while racking up 17 shots along the way, 12 of which were on target, in contrast to Portimonense, who had 3 shots on goal with 0 on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 9 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 7 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. They have recently found some good scoring form at home, hitting the net in 5 of their last 6 matches at Estádio Municipal de Arouca.
They have been on a decent run of form lately at Estádio Municipal de Arouca, going undefeated in 5 of their previous 6 games there and notching up 4 wins along the way.
On an individual basis, Oday Dabbagh will be looking to get on the scoresheet again at Estádio Municipal de Arouca having scored 5 goals in Arouca's last 6 home games in the league.

Benfica head into this match with some confidence in the knowledge that they recorded a solid 2-0 away win against Paços de Ferreira in their last league encounter. They achieved 68% possession in that match and had 13 strikes at goal, with 6 hitting the target, up against Paços de Ferreira's tally of 12 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.
Manager Roger Schmidt will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, with them having scored 11 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 6 goals conceded in the same period. Away from home, they have become reasonably solid at the back with 4 clean sheets in their last 6 away outings. Few teams have managed to keep As Águias away from their goal, having scored in all but 2 of their games this season.
They have had a strong run of form recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 games and picking up 4 wins along the way. It's been a good season so far with them having won 15 of their 18 league games.
Gonçalo Ramos will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 5 goals in the last 6 league outings for Benfica.
Arouca vs. Benfica Head to head
Arouca will be looking to forget their last league encounter with Benfica, when a slew of goals ended in a heavy 4-0 defeat.
As Águias will be looking to extend their current run of scoring against Arouca having scored at least 1 goal in each of their previous 6 meetings. It's been a long time since Arouca have managed to find the back of the net against As Águias, having failed to score against them in their last 4 league encounters. Benfica have a decent scoring record against Arouquenses in recent times, having hit the back of the net 13 times in the last 5 matches between the two. In their past 5 meetings, Benfica's defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 1 goal, so Arouquenses will have to take their chances when they come.
Benfica will be looking to continue their winning streak against Arouca, having won each of the last 6 times they have met in the league and being unbeaten in their last 6 meetings.
With no real injury worries, Arouca manager Armando Evangelista will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Benfica Injury News
There is only really one injury concern for the Benfica manager Roger Schmidt ahead of this clash, with Rafa Silva (Muscle) missing out, which gives Schmidt a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
