Belenenses Nacional betting prediction

The away team is currently in the 17^th position of the league, with 28 points won, after 7 wins, 7 draws and 19 losses. In the penultimate match, they tied in an away match against Vitória Guimarães, by (2‑2). In the last match, they lost in a home match against Porto, by (0‑4). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 1 win, 3 draws and 11 losses in away matches, with 19 goals scored and 51 conceded; against 5 wins, 3 draws and 7 losses at their stadium, with 11 goals scored and 16 conceded. In the last 10 away league matches Nacional has a record of 1 draw and 9 losses, so they have won 1 point out of 30 possible.

In this competition, they haven’t won any of the last 10 away matches. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away mathes there is a tendency for goals, since 12 of the last 16 matches for this competition have ended with Over 2,5 goals. This is a team that has had a hard time trying to score first. They have opened up the score in only 7 of the last 33 matches for the Primeira Liga, they have reached half‑time in front in 5 of those 7 matches and have held on to the lead in 6. In 33 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 22 times and have only turned the score around in 1. In the last 16 away matches for this competition there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 8 of their 22 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Nacional da Madeira confirmed the relegation in the last round. It was the realization of something that had been expected for a long time. The inability the insular team had been demonstrating was far too obvious. With four defeats and a draw, in the last five games, Nacional proved not to have established roots in this return to Liga NOS. The defensive permeability was always a huge problem for Costinha's side. This was again visible in the last game where they suffered four goals against FC Porto. But two rounds earlier, on the move to Chaves, the island team had conceded four more goals. With only two points, in the last nine rounds, it was very little for a team that aimed to remain in the first division of Portuguese football.
