Porto form and stats

Porto, who have the most scored goals (28) in Primeira Liga, have been outstanding at home so far in the Primeira Liga with 5 wins, 0 draws and only 1 loss. The team is able to perform also as the away side, as they are nurturing a very healthy winning streak of five straight victories regardless of arena. Ever since the Maritimo game Porto has been unbeatable here at Estádio Do Dragão producing four straight wins.

Porto are returning here after visiting Vitória SC in a Primeira Liga game and winning with a 3-2 scoreline. Mehdi Taremi (2) and Luis Díaz scored the goal(s). Before that, Porto had a Super Cup home game versus Benfica which ended with a victory 2-0.

World class coaching! That was the thoughts of S. Marceneiro Conceição when Luis Díaz scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 32nd minute.

Porto are an "over 2,5 goals" team alone here at Estádio Do Dragão in their league games, having scored an impressive 15 goals in 6 matches. Porto have conceded 8 in these home matches.

Moreirense form and stats

The visitors are W0-D2-L3 on the road this term. That's in the Primeira Liga.

Moreirense have succeeded in guarding their own goal lately, led by their goalkeeper Mateus Pasinato. It's been 209 minutes since they last conceded in Primeira Liga.

Moreirense won their last game, 1-0 versus Santa Clara played at home. A 0-0 draw at Tondela's stadium before that.

With the home team given a winning probability of about 80% by the bookmakers, any positive result for the visitors would be a surprise. Checking earlier matches with similar odds with Moreirense as the away team, we found three results. Statistics from these were zero away wins, one draw and two defeats. The outsiders lost zero of these games by at least two goals.

Moreirense are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 1 goal from 5 away games. As opposed to that, Moreirense have seen the ball go into their own net 6 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Porto won seven games, two matches ended with a draw and Moreirense has one win. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: eight / two
