Sporting to cement their top-four spot in the Primeira Liga at Belenenses
Os Belenenses SAD vs Sporting CP - 26/06/2020
2736
On Friday evening, Belenenses host Sporting CP at the Estadio Nacional in the Primeira Liga, as the visitors look to move a step closer to booking a place in next season’s Europa League.
The home side are still not certain of their Primeira Liga status for next season, as they are just six points clear of the relegation zone with seven league games remaining. However, they have a game in hand on their rivals at the bottom of the table. They could have wished for an easier fixture to ease their fears of the drop though.
Belenenses recent league form has been inconsistent. However, a 2-1 defeat in their last league game at Pacos de Ferreira ended a six-game unbeaten run for the home side in the Primeira Liga. The points gathered during that unbeaten recent run may be enough to keep them clear of the drop zone.
They have had mixed results of late on home soil in the Primeira Liga. However, Belenenses have lost just once in their previous five home games in the Portuguese top-flight.
Sporting are third in the table, four points ahead of fifth-place Famalicao. With this as their game in-hand, the visitors from the Portuguese capital will be confident of remaining in the top-four for the remainder of the season.
Their form has been relatively strong of late, as they head into this clash on the back of a four-game unbeaten run in the Primeira Liga, having recorded three wins and a draw. They have also been prolific in those unbeaten games, scoring at least twice in all three of the wins.
One of Sporting’s achilles heels of late has been their away form, as they have failed to win in their last five away games in the Primeira Liga.
Forebet predicts that Sporting will end that recent winless away run and record a victory in a low-scoring encounter.
