Santa Clara form and stats

Santa Clara have collected 18 points from their Primeira Liga home games so far after 5-3-5.

Before that game, the 5-1 home victory against Nacional.

This is expected to be a close game, with Santa Clara perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Santa as a small favourite), we find 14 games. Santa Clara has won five of these, drawn five and lost four.

The Santa Clara fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 18 in 13 matches. 13 goals have been conceded.

Moreirense form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Primeira Liga travels is 5 wins, 2 draws and 6 defeats.

Ahead of that match was the victory versus Gil Vicente at their stadium, the result 2-1.

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 eleven relevant matches. Results were four Moreirense wins, four draws and three defeats.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Moreirense as they have only managed to score 10 times from 13 away games in the league. Moreirense have conceded 15 goals in these away matches.
