Porto Preview – Can Porto finish on winning note?
The final match of the season sees Porto take on mid-table Belenenses at the Estádio Do Dragão with the 2nd placed hosts unable to improve upon their current position in the Primeira Liga despite putting together an impressive 27-match unbeaten run in the Portuguese top flight.
Porto find themselves four points adrift of the Primeira Liga title winners, Sporting CP, with just one game remaining of the season but with a home record of 12-3-1 36/15, Porto will be keen to finish on a winning note here.
The hosts have won their last five home matches on the trot but Porto have only won by a 3-goal margin or more in just two of their 16 home games to date this term but they have won the last two home games against Belenenses 5-0 and 3-0 respectively.
Belenenses Preview – Can Belenenses put up stubborn resistance?
Belenenses have produced mixed results throughout the majority of this season’s Primeira Liga campaign and perhaps unsurprisingly find themselves in a mid-table position of 9th in the Portuguese top flight but they’ll be looking to contain their hosts on Wednesday night.
Nevertheless, Belenenses have lost just two of their last eight matches overall while also picking up important wins against Maritimo, Gil Vicente, Portimonense and Tondela during this period and although wins on the road have been hard to come by, the visitors have made themselves hard to beat.
Belenenses’ last eight away games have produced just two wins but they’ve also suffered only one defeat while drawing the other five games and they’ll be looking to frustrate Porto in this final game and look a decent bet to cover the -2 asian handicap line here.
