This match features two teams living in the basement of the Primeira Liga, Moreirense holding 15th place and Desportivo Aves lying 18th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.

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.
