The recent head to head record between these two clubs and their performances in the latter stages of the Primeira Liga season suggests that Thursday’s game is likely to end in a score draw. Three of the last five meetings between these two clubs have ended in draws, and each of those stalemates have seen both teams score. Belenenses and Nacional haven’t won any of their last six matches, and both teams have drawn two games during that period. Belenenses have no clean sheets in their last six matches, while Nacional have only kept one clean sheet in their last six attempts, and that’s another reason why we expect both teams to score in Thursday’s match.
Lica leads the way in front of goal for Belenenses, netting eleven times in the league heading into the final game of the season. Nacional’s top scorer Rochez has scored ten times in the Primeira Liga, but even his goals haven’t been enough to save his team from relegation. We’re confident that Thursday’s game will end in a draw, and have predicted a final scoreline of 2-2. These two sides can’t buy a win right now and this fixture has a very good recent history of ending in stalemate, so a draw seems like the obvious result on Thursday.
