Porto, who lie in 2nd place come up against 12th positioned Beleneses in the Primeira Liga. Porto have won five of their last six matches against Belenenses and under 2.5 goals have been produced in three of the pairs’ last six encounters and on each of those occasions, the scoreline has ended 2-0. Belenenses have lost three of their last six matches while Porto have won five of their last six, so you can begin to see just why we have backed under 2.5 goals and a 2-0 Porto victory this weekend. Under 2.5 goals have been scored in four of Belenenses’ and four of Porto’s last six matches. Belenenses have lost three of their five home games in the league and Porto have won four of their six away games in the league, meaning the hosts average 1.20 points per home game and the visitors average 2.17 points per away game, all of which adds weight to our prediction for an away win on Sunday. Belenenses score an average of 0.80 goals per home game and concede an average of 1.40 goals and Porto score an average of 1.50 per away game and concede an average of 0.83 goals, while only 20% of Belenenses’ home games and 33% of Porto’s away games have produced over 2.5 goals, which is why we have backed fewer than three goals to be scored this weekend.

Belenenses have only scored 4 goals at home while Porto have scored 9 goals on the road and 60% of the hosts’ home games have produced over 1.5 goals while 67% of the visitor’s away games have also produced over 1.5 goals, making a 2-0 win for Porto look even more likely. Belenenses have failed to score in 60% of their home games and Porto have kept clean sheets in 50% of their away games, providing even more reason to back an away win and another clean sheet for Porto on Sunday.
