Moreirense form and stats

The story so far in the Primeira Liga for Moreirense at their home stadium (Parque Desportivo Comendador Joaquim de Almeida Freitas) is 3 wins, 8 draws and 3 defeats. With eight home Primeira Liga games in a row without a win, the Moreirense fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Santa Clara game long ago, can be stopped today.

The home team returns to Parque Desportivo Comendador Joaquim de Almeida Freitas after being equal after 90 minutes with Santa Clara (placed 7th) on their last time out; the Primeira Liga game ended 0-0. Preceding that match was a defeat to Tondela (2-3).

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Moreirense as they are travelling to their away game against Vitória SC in the Primeira Liga. That match is four days after this one.

Moreirense has scored 18 league goals at home this season, in 14 matches. 20 goals have been conceded.
