Moreirense form and stats
3 victories, 9 draws and 3 defeats. That’s what Moreirense have to build on here at Parque Desportivo Comendador Joaquim de Almeida Freitas in the Primeira Liga. Moreirense are slowly digging their own grave here at Parque Desportivo Comendador Joaquim de Almeida Freitas with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in nine attempts. The last victory here came in the Santa Clara match.
Moreirense lost their last game at Vitória SC (placed 6th) after a 0-2 scoreline. In the match before that, Moreirense hosted Porto and drew the game 1-1.
The manager V. Freire De Seabra will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Portimonense in only four days.
Moreirense has scored 19 league goals at home this season, in 15 matches. Moreirense have conceded 21 in these home matches.
Nacional form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Nacional, who have the the worst goal difference (-23) in Primeira Liga, so far with only 9 points returning home. The records show 2-3-10 (win-draw-lose). Bitter travels for Nacional as they have lost six games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Boavista match.
Nacional are travelling again after losing away to Sporting CP in their previous match (0-2). That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus Vitória SC.
It's a bit worrying for Nacional that their goalkeeper Antonio Filipe made six saves in the Sporting CP game last time out, but still couldn't prevent the loss.
The attacking power of Nacional when travelling is not overwhelming with 9 goals scored from 15 league matches away. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Nacional have conceded 24 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
