A weakly basic solution favours coupling of benzene diazonium chloride with?

in a weakly acidic solution phenol will exist as phenoxide. we know the phenoxide ring is more activated than phenol itself( due to +R effect).in the aryl coupling reaction phenol will be the nucleophile and the diazonium salt the electrophile. so increased electron density in the phenoxide ring will favour coupling.
