Belenenses hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 15 points and a 13th position in the Primeira Liga table. Visiting Sporting Braga holds 9th place with 18 pts.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Belenenses form and stats
Belenenses have played 6 Primeira Liga games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-1-3 (wins-draws-losses).
In their previous game, the manager Pedro Ribeiro led his Belenenses to a defeat in the Primeira Liga match away at Moreirense. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Estadio Nacional do Jamor. In the match before that, Belenenses hosted Porto and drew the game 1-1.
Belenenses aren't scoring a lot here at Estadio Nacional do Jamor in the league, with only 5 goals from 6 games. Belenenses have conceded 8 in these home matches.
Sporting Braga form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Sporting Braga so far with only 7 points returning home. The records show 2-1-4 (win-draw-lose).
Sporting Braga aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 190 league minutes without a goal. R. Horta was the last player to find the net.
Two travels in a row for Sporting Braga, whose manager Sá Pinto could celebrate last time after the League Cup win against Pacos de Ferreira. It was a Taça De Portugal defeat before that one as the away game against Benfica wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Sporting Braga as they have only managed to score 5 times from 7 away games in the league. As opposed to that, Sporting Braga have seen the ball go into their own net 7 times on the road.
