Belenenses Preview – Can Belenenses hold their own?
Monday night’s hosts, Belenenses, have put together a stubborn looking five-match unbeaten run in the Portuguese top flight which includes one win and four draws which has kept the hosts away from the relegation zone for the time being.
Points picked up in draws with Porto, Vitoria Guimaraes, Famalicao and Moreirense have been boosted by a 2-1 home win against Nacional but this unbeaten sequence is expected to come under a lot of pressure from Benfica on Monday night.
Belenenses hold a stubborn looking home record of 3-5-3 10/10 which includes being unbeaten in their last four matches at their Estádio Nacional but they’ve lost each of the last five meetings on the trot against their visitors.
Benfica Preview – Can Benfica close gap?
4th placed Benfica currently trail 3rd placed Sporting Braga by a four-point margin but all three points away at Belenenses would see this deficit reduced to just a single point and having lost just one of their last 14 matches overall, Benfica look set to add to their points tally here.
Although Benfica are without an away win from their last five outings, the visitors have lost just one of these while the bigger picture shows that the visitors have lost just four of their last 36 matches on the road in the Primeira Liga.
Benfica also hold a good record against Belenenses in recent exchanges and they should come out on top once again on Monday night.
