Season ticket holders at Parque de Jogos Comendador Joaquim de Almeida Freitas haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Moreirense languishing in the 14th position so far. The guesting Belenenses will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

Moreirense form and stats

3-2-1 (win-draw-lost) are the Primeira Liga numbers at home for Moreirense so far this season.

Moreirense lost their last game at Sporting CP (placed 4th) after a 0-1 scoreline. Before that game, the 3-2 home victory against Desportivo Aves.

Moreirense's goalkeeper Mateus Pasinato was extremely busy against Sporting CP, saving the team from a uglier defeat with a stunning 8 saves.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Moreirense have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found eleven games) they have won 6 times, drawn 2 and lost 3.

A decent goal production from Moreirense in their home games so far, with 10 goals from 6 league matches. Moreirense's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 6 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
