Belenenses takes on the visitors Chaves in the Round 2 match of Portuguese League Cup. The game will be played on 18th of November at Estádio Nacional do Jamor (Lisabon - Oeiras).
In the first round of the Portuguese League Cup, Belenenses lost to the club from the Portuguese Segunda, and it immediately became clear that the current owners are not taking the cup very seriously. I think that in the second meeting it will not be possible to win, because visiting Chaves, who focuses on the cup. In the last five matches, the team won only once, and Benfica was beaten, however, as I have already said, Belenenses is laid out in Primeira. I think that in this meeting there will be a rather tangible rotation of the composition, since the coach needs to give the main players a rest. And Chaves is a very inconvenient opponent for the hosts - only one of the four personal meetings managed to beat Belenenses.

Chaves in the first round of the cup was able to get a point in the match with Porto, although the “dragons” did not play a reserve team. Things in Primeira are not very good for Chaves - the team is in last place, but today's guests have all chances for a successful performance in the cup. Now the guests have a three-match series of defeats, but in fairness it is worth noting rival Chaves - Rio Ave, Sporting and Aves, all these teams are significantly higher in the standings than the team from the north of Portugal. I am sure that in the match with Belenenses there are chances for Chaves, of course, it is worth playing the second number, because you don’t have to play in the open, the guests have not so much skill, but they can definitely catch the chances on the counterattack.
I think that in this meeting one should not expect an easy victory for the hosts. Belenenses in the first round of the League Cup showed that the team didn’t need this trophy. I am sure that the guests will be able to create a struggle in this meeting.
Prediction for the match: Chaves to win with +0.5 Asian handicap.
