Santa Clara and Belenenses have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the Primeira Liga.
- Santa Clara has the fewest dropped points from leading position (0) in Primeira Liga
- Belenenses has the fewest scored goals (8) in Primeira Liga
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Santa and Belenenses.
Santa Clara form and stats
Santa Clara's struggle is real here with only 5 points collected from 7 Primeira Liga games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-2-4.
In their previous game, the manager D. Lopes Ramos led his Santa Clara to a defeat in the Taça De Portugal match away at Sporting Braga. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here. A strong away win before that one, visiting Rio Ave and winning 2-1.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Santa Clara have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 16 matches with the results: Won four, drawn five and lost seven.
There will be little rest for Santa after this match as they are travelling to Farense for a Primeira Liga game in only three days.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Santa Clara here in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (5 from 7 games). 10 goals have been conceded.
Belenenses form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Belenenses, who have the fewest scored goals (8) in Primeira Liga, so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 1-3-3 (win-draw-lose).
It might be tough going out on the road again for Belenenses, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-3 versus Benfica (placed 3rd). That result followed a home victory 2-0 versus Tondela in the Primeira Liga.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found eight similar matches played by Belenenses in our archives, and the results are: two wins for Belenenses, three draws and three defeats.
After this away game Belenenses return home for a Primeira Liga game against Porto. That game is only three sleeps after this.
Belenenses are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 1 goal from 7 away games. It's not easy to score on Belenenses as they have only conceded 4 goals from these away games.
