Belenenses Prediction
Belenenses have produced mixed results in recent weeks in the Primeira liga as they’ve collected wins against Vitoria Guimaraes and Nacional, but have also fallen to defeats against Sporting and Porto, losing 2-1 and 3-0 respectively.
However, both of these defeats were inflicted upon them away from home but at their Estádio Nacional the hosts have been far more solid, bringing with them a run of six matches without defeat, including wins over Benfica, Chaves, Desportivo Aves and Vitoria Guimaraes.
Belenenses hold a home record which stands at 4-3-2 13/10 and they’ve also kept five clean sheets on home turf this season as they look to extend this encouraging turn of form and move themselves closer to the top five in the Primeira Liga.
Forwards Lica and Almeida (5 goals apiece) look the most likely goalscorers for the hosts here.
- Belenenses are unbeaten in their last 6 home matches
- Moreirense have lost their last 2 away matches on the trot
- Moreirense have failed to keep a single clean sheet on their travels
Moreirense Prediction
Moreirense also bring an encouraging spell of form into this Monday night clash against Belenenses as the visitors have won five of their last seven matches overall in the Portuguese top flight.
Recent wins against Chaves, Boavista, Rio Ave, Desportivo Aves and Nacional have helped lift them up into 6th place in the Primeira Liga but they’re still eight points behind 5th placed Sporting CP who occupy the last remaining European spot for next season.
However, away from home has seen the visitors suffer back-to-back defeats prior to this clash with losses at Vitoria Guimaraes and Sporting CP while their overall record on their travels stands at an inconsistent looking 4-0-6 10/17.
In addition, Moreirense have failed to keep a single clean sheet on their travels to date and have also failed to hit the back of the net in 5 of their 10 away matches this season.
This match therefore looks far from being straightforward for the visitors, and I wouldn’t be surprised if Belenenses perhaps nick this one.
Betting Tips Verdict
Belenenses have put together a solid run on home turf and I’m confident they can keep their run going here.
