Belenenses form and stats

Belenenses are yet to win a home game, having collected 1 point from their first two Primeira Liga games here at Estádio Nacional.

Stress levels are on the rise for Belenenses's attacking players as they have now played 318 minutes without scoring in a league game. M. Cassierra was their last goal scorer.

The fans are hoping that Belenenses will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-2 away loss in the Primeira Liga game against Benfica (placed 1st). Preceding that game was the home draw versus Moreirense that ended 0-0.

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 twelve matches with the results: Won two, drawn four and lost six.

Belenenses has scored 1 goal so far and conceded 2 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.

Farense form and stats

No Primeira Liga points yet away for Farense, from their first 2 matches. Farense has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

Home advantage was not enough for Farense in their previous game, as they lost their Primeira Liga-match, hosting Rio Ave, 0-1. A draw for Farense before that, at their own venue hosting Famalicao (3-3).

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found eight similar matches played by Farense in our archives, and the results are: four wins for Farense, two draws and two defeats.

2 goals so far away for Farense, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 5. All from 2 league matches away.
