Best Tip: Benfica to win

After looking at the bookies' odds and collated statistics regarding both teams ahead of this Liga NOS fixture, a bet on win / draw / win for Benfica to win in front of their own fans is what we would suggest. We predict they will have too much for Arouca, and head-to-head (H2H) records show they have the pedigree to do so. There could be some bumps along the way, but Benfica to win is the bet come Sunday evening.

Goal Statistics

Benfica's forwards have been in fine form of late, scoring 2 goals or more in 6 consecutive Liga NOS outings. A PG of 2.6 suggests that run should continue on Sunday evening.

A truly dismal PG of just 0.9 should cause concerns for Arouca fans, as should a 5 Liga NOS matches run in which they have failed to score more than 1 goal.
