On Friday night, Belenenses host Rio Ave at the Estadio Nacional in the Portuguese Primeira Liga, as the home side looks to get back into form.

Belenenses have started their campaign in poor form, having picked up just six points from as many games in the Portuguese top-flight. A 1-1 home draw with Farense last time out in the league means that the home team have failed to win in five games.

Their recent league games have been close, low-scoring affairs, with under 2.5 goals scored in five of their last six matches in the Primeira Liga.

Belenenses struggles for results on home soil in the Primeira Liga have not helped their chances of moving up the table, as they have won just once in their previous nine league matches on home soil. Like their recent games in general, Belenenses recent home matches have been low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in eight of their last ten games on home soil.

Rio Ave have picked up just three more points than the home side, but are seventh place in the Portuguese table compared to the home team who are 14th.

After a poor start to the league campaign, it seems that things are picking up for the visitors, who have now recorded back-to-back wins over Farense and last time out Moreirense.

Similar to their hosts, the visitor's recent matches in the Portuguese top-flight have been tight affairs, with six of their last seven matches producing under 2.5 goals.

Rio Ave have been tough opponents on their travels, losing just one of their last 14 league matches on their travels. They are also unbeaten in five away games going into this clash.

Forebet predicts that this clash will produce a low-scoring draw, which is logical considering both sides recent records in the Primeira Liga
