A brief peek at the Segunda Liga standings hint of an edge to Vilafranquense when they visit Belenenses. Nevertheless; let's wait before select a winner!
- Belenenses have the most conceded goals in the second half (21) in Segunda Liga
- Vilafranquense have the fewest conceded goals in the second half (6) in Segunda Liga
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Vilafranquense have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 10-10-16 (win-draw-loss) from 36 matches.
Belenenses and Vilafranquense should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Belenenses form and stats
Belenenses's results here at Estádio Nacional in the Segunda Liga have been very modest with 1 victory, 1 draw and 5 defeats.
The followers are hoping that Belenenses will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the game against UD Oliveirense (placed 12th). The first loss after going undefeated in three league rounds.
Before that, a strong away win at Vilaverdense. A Taça De Portugal game.
Sports bettors should know that 12 of the most recent 16 league games from this football club have seen goals scored by both teams.
Belenenses are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 10 goals in 7 games. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Belenenses with 15 goals conceded in these matches. When Belenenses hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like Mafra, Sporting Covilha, Nacional, Torreense and Trofense), the matches have ended over 2.5 goals 3 of 4 times.
Vilafranquense form and stats
3 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses. That’s the product of Vilafranquense playing as the away team in the Segunda Liga this season.
The Vilafranquense goalkeeper Pedro Jose da Silva Trigueira is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 218 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.
The fans enjoyed Vilafranquense's previous fixture versus Leixões (placed 11th), a 2-0 win played at home.
Preceding that game, the 0-0 draw paying a visit to Sporting Covilha.It's not easy to score on Vilafranquense as they have only conceded 6 goals from these away games.
