Club members at Parque Desportivo Comendador Joaquim de Almeida Freitas haven’t watched many wins this season, with Moreirense lying uncomfortably in the 16th spot. The opposing Boavista will try to shield their higher league position in this match.

Insights:
  • Moreirense haven’t played a single 0-0 game at home.
  • Boavista have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Moreirense form and stats

Moreirense's results here at Parque Desportivo Comendador Joaquim de Almeida Freitas in the Primeira Liga have been very modest with 4 victories, 3 draws and 8 defeats.

No payout for Moreirense in their previous match, an away game at Portimonense that ended in defeat 0-1.

Previous to that game, a home match hosting Tondela in a game that was won 2-0.

This is expected to be a close game, with Moreirense perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Moreirense as a small favourite), we find eleven games. Moreirense has won two of these, drawn four and lost five.

Moreirense are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 17 goals in 15 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Moreirense's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 20 times.
