Football Bet of the Day: Finish the week on a low in Portugal

The Roosters of Gil Vicente have little to crow about right now

Defences can look forward to a lazy Sunday at the Estadio do Restelo, says Tobias Gourlay

Belenenses v Gil Vicente
Sunday 16:00

Mouscron 1 Gent 3 in Belgium yesterday. The hosts took an early lead and - ever obliging - Gent came roaring back, and the bet was done by half-time.

We're heading south today - and the entertainment level could be too.

Two teams with a joint 26 goals scored in 32 outings this season are meeting in Portugal and we wouldn't be anywhere else.

Mid-table Primeira Liga outfit Belenenses are on a goalless streak of six right now. Their only means of picking up points is 0-0 draws and they've managed three so far.

Among their six opponents, only Benfica and Porto - top and second in the table - have scored more than once.

Since Lito Vidigal took charge late last term, 8/12 Belenenses home games have finished with Under 2.5 Goals.

Since Jose Mota took over early this season, bottom-of-the-table Gil Vicente have been shut out in 6/13 matches, including each of their last four on the road.

At the other end the Roosters held league-leading Benfica to a 1-0 win on their last away trip and can do something similar at the Estadio do Restelo this afternoon.
