CD Trofense (home)
- Os Belenenses are in the top half of the Promotion Group with eight points from five matches while Trofense sit bottom with two.
- A draw may even be Trofense’s best result if they can keep Belenenses at bay and if Moussa Diarra gets any space to break the game open on the counter.
- Diarra leads the Trofense scoring charts with 6 - 9 this term and is their only serious goal threat in the final third.
- In the last five Promotion Group games, Trofense have failed to find the net more than once in any match.
- They press in patches and have little offensive output to speak of - Trofense rely on Diarra to make chances and score goals, few have come from midfield or the wings in the more challenging Promotion Group.
CF Os Belenenses (away)
- The Belenenses have won two, drawn two and lost one of their last five Promotion Group matches, playing some good soccer, but conceding goals.
- Belenenses’ recent games have seen them score multiple goals, but they have conceded in four of their last five, which suggests a low-scoring game is the way to go on the odds for this match.
- Os Belenenses are an attacking side who have played some good football in patches under João Nuno this season, who has turned their promotion push around.
- Belenenses employ a high line, intense pressing and a possession-based attack.
- Diogo Leitão has been their standout player, providing goals and assists as an outlet and creator from midfield and on the wing throughout the 2025/26 campaign.
- Midana Sambú offers a different skill set, bringing pace and energy to the wings, while he also features heavily in Belenenses’ rotation in the attacking third.

Betting Insights
- Both teams to score - No comes in at 1.96 and under 2.5 goals is priced at 1.62.
- Belenenses’ recent domination of this fixture, their broader promotion ambitions and overall better form in the group make the visitors the slight favourites here at 2.47.
- Trofense are not far behind at 2.87 but a draw is also a very likely outcome, priced at 3.1.
Prediction
- This fixture is a classic control vs transition game and Os Belenenses’ pressure should force the Trofense defence into mistakes.
- However, the home side can be dangerous on the break, so the game should be close with Belenenses just able to edge it, and perhaps even win.
