Belenenses vs Vitoria Setubal Predictions

• Both teams have scored in just 2 of the last 6 meetings between these two clubs.
• Half of Belenenses’ last six matches failed to see both teams score.
• Half of Vitoria Setubal’s last six matches failed to see both teams score.
• The last two encounters between these two sides have ended goalless.

Three of the last four meetings between these two clubs have ended in stalemates

Belenenses failed to end their winless run last time out as they lost 2-0 away at Gil Vicente while Vitoria Setubal’s 3-1 defeat at home to Sporting was their third match on the run without a victory. Four o the last six meetings between these two clubs have either seen one or both teams fail to score and with three of Belenenses’ and three of Vitoria Setubal’s last six matches also failing to see both teams score, you can see why we have backed a ‘BTTS – No’ bet this weekend.

The hosts have only managed to win two of their seven home games in the league so far this season while the visitors have only won once on the road but have secured two draws. Belenenses average 1.00 points per home game and Vitoria Setubal average 0.71 points per away game, which is one of the main reasons we have backed the pair to draw on Saturday. The hosts score an average of 0.86 goals per home game while the visitors score an average of 0.57 goals per away game, so you can see why we have backed the pair to play out a goalless draw this weekend.

Both teams need to add more goals to their game before the end of the season

Only 29% of Belenenses’ home games have produced over 2.5 goals and the same can be said about 43% of Vitoria Setubal’s away games this season. Both teams have scored in 43% of Belenenses’ home games and in just 29% of Setubal’s away matches, adding further weight to our prediction for Saturday’s clash.

Belenenses have only scored 6 goals at home so far this season while Setubal have netted just 4 times on the road, so you can see why we aren’t expecting both teams to score and why we feel this match has a good chance of ending 0-0. The hosts have failed to score in 43% of their home games while Setubal have failed to score in 71% of their away games, with 31% of the visitors league games ending goalless.

We’re confident that we won’t see both teams score on Saturday and we’re predicting a final scoreline of 0-0. Neither side arrive on Saturday in good form and both teams have either failed to score or kept a clean sheet in half of their last six matches. Belenenses have struggled for goals at home but Setubal have an even worse conversion rate on the road, which is why we have backed a 0-0 draw this weekend.
