Our prediction for this Portugal Primeira Liga match:
Estadio Antonio Coimbra da Mota will host Sunday’s football game between Estoril and Belenenses. The hosts have a chances to climb to 7th place in the standings, but keep in mind that they collected only one point in total from the previous four league fixtures. Lucas Africo remains in the recovery room, but he should be the only absentee in the home team.
O Belem, on the other hand, are stuck in the relegation zone with only 24 points in their pocket, but a hard-fought 1-0 win over Vizela gave them a confidence boost. The rock-bottom side aim to move closer to the safe zone, and we predict that they will take advantage of Estoril’s poor form. The good news for the visiting side is that defender Diogo Calila is back from suspension. In the first half of the season Estoril defeated Belenenses, meaning that the visitors are hungry for revenge.
Highlighted Team (Belenenses):
Founded on September 23, 1919, Belenenses are a Portuguese club that host their rivals at Estado do Restelo. The stadium can hold up to 19,856 spectators and it was built in 1956. O Belem play home games in blue shirts and white shorts and white is the dominant colour of their away kit.
By beating the likes of IFK Goteborg and Rheindorf Altach Belenenses booked their place in the Europa League group stages in the 2015/2016 season. Despite defeating Swiss side Basel in their group, the Portuguese club eventually finished the process in the last position in the standings.
The Estado do Restelo outfit did well to win the Primeira Liga trophy in the 1945/1946 season, with the team finishing the season only one point clear of second-placed Benfica. Speaking of the Portuguese Cup, Belenenses clinched their third Taca de Portugal trophy in the 1988/1989 season. Vitor Godinho is the player with most appearances for the club (272).
