In their previous game, the manager A. Gonçalves Teixeira led his Belenenses to a defeat in the Primeira Liga match away at Porto. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Estádio Nacional. Attacking player Mateo Cassierra bested all teammates in that game and got a match rating of 7.4 out of 10. Cassierra hit two key passes and dribled passed the opponent 2 of 2 times.

Prior to that, an away loss at Porto.

This is expected to be a close game, with Belenenses perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage.
