    Porto can boost their title hopes at Belenenses
    04/02/21 1917

    On Thursday night, reigning Portuguese champions Porto will look to boost their title challenge when they travel to Belenenses.

    Belenenses could be set for a hard season of fighting against the drop, as they head into this clash just a point above the relegation play-off spot and two above the relegation zone itself.

    Their recent league form has been disappointing considering that most of their games have been against teams around them.

    A 2-0 defeat at Santa Clara last time out means that the home team has won just one of their last seven Primeira Liga games while suffering five defeats. The run is a worrying one for head coach Petit, his team and the club's fans.

    One of the biggest factors in Belenenses recent poor league form has been a lack of goals, as they have failed to score in four of their last five matches in the Primeira Liga.

    Reigning Portuguese champions Porto are playing catch-up with leaders Sporting CP, who are four points clear at the top of the Primeira Liga table. A ten-game unbeaten run in the Primeira Liga, including nine wins, has helped Sergio Conceicao team stayed in touch with their rivals from the capital.

    The visitors have been relatively prolific in front of goal of late, scoring at least two goals in six of their previous eight league matches.

    Iranian striker Mehdi Taremi has found good form of late, scoring five goals in his last six league appearances.  The 28-year-old is his team's top goalscorer in the Portuguese top-flight this season with eight goals.

    Porto’s recent form on their travels has been good, as the visitors have now won their last four away games in the Primeira Liga.

    Forebet predicts that Porto will pick up a potentially vital victory in a low-scoring game to keep the pressure on Sporting at the top of the table.
