An important duel in the bottom section of the Primeira Liga, with both Portimonense and Moreirense experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 17th and the visitors in 13th place.

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.

Portimonense form and stats

With 1 Primeira Liga win, 4 draws and 4 defeats from their home games, Portimonense are certainly not brimming with confidence. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Portimonense with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Pacos de Ferreira game, 35 days ago, have they avoided a loss.

Portimonense faced defeat in their previous match, away at Sporting CP (1-2). Ahead of that match, Portimonense lost 0-1 at home to Tondela.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Portimonense have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found one match with the results: Won zero, drawn one and lost zero.

Portimonense have scored 7 league goals here from 9 matches, not a lot. Portimonense's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 11 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Moreirense form and stats

Moreirense have only collected 7 points from their away games in the Primeira Liga, after 1-4-5 (10 played).

There were no winners in Moreirense's previous match, a Primeira Liga home game that ended 1-1 vs Vitória FC (placed 10th). Preceding that game was the away victory against Gil Vicente with the score of 5-1.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Moreirense playing away and similar expectations, we found ten relevant matches. Results were four Moreirense wins, two draws and four defeats.

Moreirense find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 12 goals from 10 away fixtures in the league. Moreirense have conceded 15 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head
