They've been docked six points for missing two games already, and yes, if they miss any more they can be removed from the league.

It all stems from them playing a player who had already played as an amateur, and under Portuguese FA rules he can't play as a professional in the same season. Belenenses, who had been relegated (and are an interesting answer to a trivia question on Portuguese league champions) protested and got them relegated in their place.
Also it seems the money at the club may be running dry as players and staff haven't been paid.
