- The hosts have won 1 and drawn 1 of their last 2 head-to-heads, including a convincing 4-1 victory in the last meeting away.

Belensenses have a point to prove
CF Os Belenenses enter Sunday’s game in good form and are currently second in the Liga 3 table with 5 points from 3 games, and will need a win on Sunday to set the tone for the rest of the promotion phase. Our CF Os Belenenses vs Amarante FC prediction suggests that a home win could provide the momentum they need.
Joao Vilela, head coach since January 2025, has a possession-based team that likes to control games, whilst Amarante FC will look to sit deep and force turnovers. This will be a battle of possession football versus counter-attack and should be a good gauge of how each manager wants to approach the rest of the season.
CF Os Belenenses have been very solid at home this season, winning 1 and drawing 1 of their 2 games at their own ground and have the better of the head-to-heads. They have scored 1.5 goals per home game and conceded 1.0 goal per game, so a narrow win looks on the cards.
Eurico Couto’s Amarante are solid
Newly appointed Amarante FC boss Eurico Couto has crafted a disciplined squad, who have scored just 1 goal in 1 away game in Liga 3 and have started the season solidly with 3 points from 2 matches to sit 5th in the table. They will be right in the battle for promotion if they can maintain their current form, which is 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat from their last 5 games.
The CF Os Belenenses vs Amarante FC preview highlights that Amarante FC have lost their only away game this season and will likely have to settle for a point here, despite the fact that they are 4.9 outsiders. They will look to frustrate their hosts and counter with numbers on the break, an approach which could be effective against a Belenenses side that like to take the ball wide and keep the play flowing.
Belenenses can take this one
The hosts are the favourites here at 1.7 and we think they can edge this one, although we feel the better bet is to take Under 2.5 goals at 1.54. This CF Os Belenenses vs Amarante FC prediction backs a low-scoring encounter, given both teams will be solid defensively and the home team will play a similar way, so it should be a game where there’s not a lot of room between the teams.
According to the latest CF Os Belenenses vs Amarante FC betting tips, Eduardo Love has been in great form for the home side with 2 goals in 2 Liga 3 games and 3 of his team’s last 7 goals. Jordan Saint-Louis leads the line for Amarante FC and has been on the scoresheet in 1 of his 2 appearances this campaign so far; he will be the visitors' main threat on the counter.
