Os Belenenses vs SC Lusitania Prediction & Betting Tips (26 August)

SC Lusitania bring some phenomenal form into this fixture, having secured 13 victories in their last 18 Liga 3 matches, including five in a row recently. The picture has been a very different one as far as Os Belenenses are concerned of late, with a run of seven defeats in nine games doing little to boost their survival chances in what threatens to be a hard-fought battle.

Given their status as one of the powerhouses of the Liga 3, it is surprising to learn that Os Belenenses are currently on a run of 32 consecutive top-flight home fixtures in which under 3.5 goals have been netted. As for SC Lusitania, 19 of their last 20 away matches at this level have followed the same pattern, so it would come as a shock to see four goals or more here.

Both teams have found the net in 11 of the most recent 15 SC Lusitania away games in the Liga 3, so SC Lusitania can hardly be accused of keeping things tight when they take to the road. Os Belenenses have been similarly entertaining on their own patch of late, with nine of their last 12 top-flight fixtures delivering goals at both ends, so clean sheets could prove hard to come by.
