Tensions run high as Benfica and Arouca meet again, an hour after the previous Liga Portugal match that concluded in a 5-0 victory for Benfica. Benfica enter this encounter after securing a victory over Arouca in Liga Portugal last Saturday.

Arouca's form, by contrast, has been disappointing, approaching this match after a defeat to Benfica in the Liga Portugal last Saturday. Their inability to keep a clean sheet has been evident, as they have been conceding goals for thirteen consecutive matches now.

This Liga Portugal clash shines a light on the players who have played crucial roles in creating and converting chances for Benfica and Arouca in this campaign. Benfica’s offensive unit, under Jose Mourinho’s management, has leaned on Vangelis Pavlidis, their main scorer, and Franjo Ivanovic, as they continue to drive the team’s attacking efforts forward. With eight goals in Liga Portugal, Pavlidis is Benfica’s top scorer in the league, and is also the team’s top assist provider, with two key passes leading to goals so far this term. Fredrik Aursnes, Andreas Schjelderup and Georgiy Sudakov have also played key roles, contributing with goals and assists to fuel Benfica’s attack.

Meanwhile, Arouca’s attacking options, shaped by Vasco Seabra’s vision, have been bolstered by Alfonso Trezza, the team’s top scorer, and Nais Djouahra, both of whom have contributed crucial goals and assists. Trezza has already scored four goals in Liga Portugal this season, while also being their most creative player, providing two assists in the league so far. Arouca have also relied on Hyun-ju Lee, Jose Fontan and Boris Popovic to energize their attack through key shots and passes.
