On Monday night, Moreirense hosts Casa Pia at the Parque Desportivo Comendador Joaquim de Almeida Freitas as the home team looks to build on their promising recent form in the Primeira Liga.
The home team is currently in sixth place in the Primeira Liga table after a solid season so far in the Portuguese top flight, just six points adrift of the league’s European spots.
A 0-0 draw against Vizela last time out in the Portuguese top-flight means that Moreirense are unbeaten in their previous ten matches in the Primeira Liga. However, it was their third draw in four Liga matches.
Recent Moreirense games have been low-scoring affairs, with under 2.5 goals scored in seven of their last eight outings in the Primeira Liga.
Rui Borges’ team have a solid recent home record in the Portuguese top flight, as they are unbeaten in five Liga games on home soil.
The visitors are in tenth place in the Primeira Liga, just four points clear of the relegation play-off spot.
A 3-1 home defeat against Sporting Braga last time out in the Portuguese top-flight means that Casa Pia have now won just two of their previous ten Liga games.
The game against Braga at least continued a high-scoring trend for the visitor's recent matches in the Primeira Liga, as four of their last five games have produced over 2.5 goals.
Pedro Moreira’s team have been poor on their travels in recent months, as a 3-1 win at Chaves in their last away game ended a four-game winless run away from home in the Primeira Liga.
The game produced another high-scoring encounter for Casa Pia on their travels, as their last three games have all produced over 3.5 goals.
Forebet predicts that Moreirense will extend their recent unbeaten run by recording a victory in a low-scoring encounter.
