Loures vs OS Belenenses tips and predictions

Loures can make things uncomfortable for OS Belenenses

There's not much between Loures and OS Belenenses in the Campeonato de Portugal. The hosts are in fourth place with 19 points, compared to their opponents who are in second place on 20 points.

There's not much up for grabs in the 1X2 and the short price for OS Belenenses renders them unbackable. Loures don't look likely to go the whole nine yards, but they might keep the visitors honest. Building on the strong rearguard performances of both sides, a goalless stalemate is the pick but it's certainly not something to get carried away with.

There have been some notable displays in defence by both sides. Looking solid at home Loures have conceded at an average of just 0.7 goals per game over their last 14 matches, while OS Belenenses haven't let in a single goal throughout their most recent 3 games.

If OS Belenenses stamp their authority on the match they are also likely to keep a clean sheet. It's not standout value but the No BTTS bet could be sensible.

Loures have drawn 4 of their last 9 matches on their own soil. Also OS Belenenses have drawn 2 of their last 3 matches. They shared the spoils with Pero Pinheiro last week and while the prediction is for any stalemate, a scoreline of 0-0 cannot be written off here. To wrap this up there is nothing to like about the home or away win odds. A deadlock awaits after what looks set to be a tightly contested match-up.
