Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Belenenses in 11th and Gil Vicente in 12th place.
- Belenenses have the fewest scored goals (19) in Primeira Liga
- Gil Vicente have the fewest points from losing position (0) in Primeira Liga
The visiting Gil Vicente played their last game only four days ago, a Primeira Liga match.
Belenenses form and stats
Overall Primeira Liga stats at home this season for Belenenses, who have the fewest scored goals (19) in Primeira Liga, are 4-5-5 (wins-draw-losses).
Belenenses travelled for their previous game, a trip to Sporting CP that ended 2-2. Ahead of that match, Belenenses won a home game hosting Maritimo (2-0).
A disappointing finish for Belenenses in their match versus Sporting CP as their 2-0 lead was destroyed and replaced with a 2-2 full time score. The Belenenses goalkeeper Stanislav Kritsyuk was crucial in the match against Sporting CP last time out, making seven saves.
This is expected to be a close game, with Belenenses perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Belenenses as a small favourite), we find 14 games. Belenenses has won three of these, drawn four and lost seven.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Belenenses as they are travelling to their away game against Pacos de Ferreira in the Primeira Liga. That match is four days after this one.
Belenenses aren't scoring a lot here at Estádio Nacional in the league, with only 12 goals from 14 games. On the other hand, Belenenses have conceded 15 goals.
Gil Vicente form and stats
As the visiting team in Primeira Liga matches, Gil Vicente have produced an overall stat of 5-2-7 so far. Having won their last three away games Gil Vicente has no reason to fear anyone.
Vicente failed to get anything from their last game, a Primeira Liga home match vs Famalicão (placed 13th) that ended with defeat 0-3. Ahead of that match was the victory versus Benfica at their stadium, the result 2-1.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Vicente playing away and similar expectations, we found eleven relevant matches. Results were four Gil Vicente wins, two draws and five defeats.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Gil Vicente have scored 16 goals in 14 league games away. It's worth mentioning that 8 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. 20 goals have been conceded by Vicente in these games.
