Besiktas on road is not so good, they have 2 wins, 3 draws and 2 loses. Besiktas is on 6th place. Not only bad performance but also injuries problems make us think that this will be Galatasaray win.

PICK WON

Belenenses is last and Trofense is just 1 point over them. This is direct fight for regulation, who wins will get 6 points not 3. So Belenenses is very deep in this match. They new coach an old fox will sure find a way to get all points from this match. Beleneses at home is not bad, in last 5 they have 1 win and 2 draws, Trofense as road team is very bad, in last 5 they have only 3 point and that was win over Vitoria Setubal. Beleneses as an old Portugal first league team I think will win and grab all points and move out of regulation zone.

Probable players:
Belenenses: Julio Cesar; Candido Costa, Carciano, Rodrigo Rice and China, Gabriel Gomez, Brother, Zé Peter and Silas; Vinicius Pacheco and Roncatto.

Others invited: Assisi, BaianoSérgio organist, Wender, and John Paul Marcelo Oliveira.

Barbosa Trofense: Paulo Lopes, Paulinho, Valdomiro, Michelangelo and James Pinto, of Milton O Delfim, and Mércio Pinheiro, David Caiado and Hélder Barbosa
