Belenenses form and stats

5 victories, 5 draws and 6 defeats. That’s what Belenenses have to build on here at Estádio Nacional. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Belenenses with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Chaves game, 36 days ago, have they avoided a loss. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Belenenses, their manager Silas and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.

The fans are hoping that Belenenses will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-5 away loss in the Primeira Liga game against Vitória Guimarães. Ahead of that match, Belenenses lost 1-8 at home to Sporting CP.

The Belenenses fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium, the tally being 22 in 16 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Belenenses defense is not exactly impregnable. 26 goals conceded from 16 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Nacional are struggling defensively in their away games, having conceded 21 goals in these matches.
