Match Time & Date:

12:30 PM
Prediction: 0-1
Belenenses
Famalicao will be looking to put an end to their four-game losing run in the Primeira Liga when they take on Belenenses on Friday evening. Famalicao impressed in the 2019/20 season, but, as things stand now, they will be fighting hard to survive in the Portuguese top flight in the remainder of the current campaign. Neto is sidelined with injury, but he should be the only absentee in the home team.
The good news for the hosts is that Jhonata Robert returns from suspension. O Belem, on the other hand, have been in a fine form of late, with the team holding both Porto and Guimaraes to a draw. Since Famalicao are low on confidence ahead of Friday’s football match, we are tempted to put our money on the visitors. Varela is out of contention with injury, while Kau will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
