Belenenses form and stats

Happy days for Belenenses in their previous game, a Primeira Liga match away at Vitoria Guimaraes (placed 14th) that ended with a 1-0 victory. Prior to that, an away loss at Vitoria Setubal.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Belenenses have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found ten matches with the results: Won two, drawn three and lost five.

Last season, Belenenses's league statistics were 9 wins, 8 draws and 17 losses, resulting in a 15th position in the Primeira Liga. Over these 34 matches they scored 27 goals and conceded 54. Playing at home last season Belenenses managed 5-4-8 (win-draw-lost) with 13 goals and 25 conceded.

Famalicão form and stats

Home advantage was not enough for Famalicão in their previous game, as they lost their Primeira Liga-match, hosting Benfica, 1-5. Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Maritimo that ended 3-3.

Famalicão lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 1-5 beating and focus on this one.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Famalicão playing away and similar expectations, we found eight relevant matches. Results were five Famalicão wins, two draws and one defeat.

Let's have a look at how Famalicão performed last season in the Primeira Liga: They landed a 6th position in the league table after playing out 14 victories, 12 draws and 8 defeats. In total they scored 53 and conceded 51 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 7 - drew 6 and lost 4 with 25/25 goals scored/conceded.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last two meetings: zero - one - one (Belenenses wins - draws - Famalicão wins). As for goals, one match ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), one had two or less.
