Famalicão form and stats

Famalicão's struggle is real here at Estádio Municipal 22 de Junho with only 6 points collected from 9 Primeira Liga games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-3-5. The season ticket holders are starting to dread their visits here at Estádio Municipal 22 de Junho, with the home team losing four in a row. They have not avoided a defeat here since the Sporting CP game. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Famalicão with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Santa Clara game, 26 days ago, have they avoided a loss.

Anderson was the last player to score a league goal for Famalicão and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Famalicão haven't scored in 237 minutes.

Before that game, the home loss against Moreirense with the scoreline 0-2.

This is expected to be a close game, with Famalicão perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Famalicão as a small favourite), we find six games. Famalicão has won five of these, drawn one and lost zero.

Famalicão has scored 9 league goals at home this season, in 9 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Famalicão are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (19 from 9 played).

Belenenses form and stats

There's been little loot from Belenenses's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 8 away games in the Primeira Liga. Belenenses, who have the fewest scored goals (9) in Primeira Liga, only have 1 win to counter their 4 defeats and 3 draws. Belenenses has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

A draw for Belenenses before that, at their own venue hosting Porto (0-0).

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Belenenses playing away and similar expectations, we found nine relevant matches. Results were two Belenenses wins, three draws and four defeats.

Belenenses are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 1 goal from 8 away games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. It's not easy to score on Belenenses as they have only conceded 6 goals from these away games. It's worth mentioning that 3 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
