On Friday afternoon, Pacos de Ferreira host Belenenses at the Estadio da Capital do Movel in the Portuguese Primeira Liga, as the home team look to seal a place in Europe for next season.
Pacos de Ferreira are fifth-place in the Portuguese top-flight, occupying the final European qualification spot. They are seven points clear of six-place Vitoria Guimaraes and should have already have sealed their place in the Europa League for next season.
A 1-1 draw at Rio Ave last time means that the home team are winless in five league matches. In fact the draw ended a four-game losing run in the Portuguese top-flight.
Their recent Primeira Liga matches have been low-scoring, as four of their last five matches have produced under 2.5 goals.
They have had a pretty good recent home record until recently, as they have now suffered back-to-back home league defeats against Benfica and Farense.
Before the losses, Pacos de Ferreira recorded six wins in their previous seven home matches in the Primeira Liga.
Belenenses are 10th place in the Portuguese top-flight table, six points clear of the relegation play-off spot and eight points clear of the automatic relegation spots.
A four-game unbeaten run including two wins and two draws in the Primeira Liga has helped move the visitors away from the relegation zone. Last time out, the visitors recorded a 2-1 home win over Gil Vicente.
Belenenses are unbeaten in six away games in the Portuguese top-flight. However, they have won just one of their previous 13 league matches on their travels.
Their recent away games in the league have been low-scoring, with 14 of their last 16 away games in the league producing under 2.5 goals.
Forebet predicts that this clash will finish in a low-scoring draw to hamper the home teams efforts to seal the last European spot.
