CF Os Belenenses

On the other side, with four defeats in the last five rounds, guests cross a moment not at all good. With only 12 goals, the worst attack in the Primeira Liga, it still remains far away from the relegation places. But at this rate, the situation could complicate the soon enough. The goal scored by T.Caeiro in the previous round, is probably the only positive thing that we can take from Boavista Setubal defeat (1-2). How he scored two goals in the last three games has evolved, definitely going fans want to see him more veteran striker on the pitch. Obviously, Q.Machado might subject their will.

In the last four trips made in Primeira Liga, in matches from Belenenses were registered less than three goals. There would be no surprise if this would repeat again.

Probable teams:

Boavista (4-3-3): Meira – Tagliapietra Machado Sampaio Talocha – Espinho Idris Carvalho – Santos Schembri Buki

Belenenses (4-2-3-1): Cristiano – Diogo Duarte Silva Hanin – Yebda Gomes – Sturgeon Sousa Rosa – Caeiro
