On Wednesday night, Pacos de Ferreira host Belenenses in the Portuguese Primeira Liga, as the home side looks nervously over their shoulders at the relegation zone.
Pacos de Ferreira are 16th place in the Portuguese top-flight, five points clear of the danger zone. They look relatively comfortable but will know that things can change quickly, so will be keen to keep picking up points.
The home side’s recent league form has been mixed, as a 1-0 defeat at Sporting CP last time out means that they have now lost two of their last three matches in the Portuguese top-flight. The match ended a run of high-scoring league encounters for Pepa’s team, as their previous five matches had produced over 2.5 goals.
A poor recent run of form on home soil in the Primeira Liga has not help Pacos de Ferreira’s chances of moving further clear of the drop zone. In fact, they have won just once in five home games, having suffered four defeats in their last five home outings.
The home side needs to improve in front of goal to move up the table, as they are the third lowest-scoring team in the Primeira Liga.
Belenenses have moved away from danger in recent weeks with a solid run of form, including embarking on a six-game unbeaten run in the Portuguese top-flight.
However, they have had a lot of draws of late in the Primeira Liga, as they have drawn three of their last four league matches.
Their recent league games have been cagey and low-scoring affairs, with under 2.5 goals scored in four of their last five outings. The visitors are unbeaten in three away matches in the Primeira Liga, having recorded two victories.
There are only five points between these two in the table. Therefore it is not surprising that Forebet predicts that this game will produce a low-scoring draw.
