Moreirense and Estoril set to draw in big Primeira Liga clash

On Monday night, Moreirense and Estoril go head-to-head in a vital clash at the bottom of the Portuguese Primeira Liga.

Moreirense are currently 15th in the Portuguese top-flight after a mixed run of form in the table. Last time out in the Primeira Liga, the home side recorded a vital 2-1 win at Tondela.

The win ended a four-game winless run in the league for Sergio Vieira’s side. The victory was vital, as it kept the home side a point clear of the visitors and the relegation zone.

Moreirense’s recent league games have been relatively high scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in five of their last eight games in the Portuguese top-flight.

The home side’s record on home soil in the Primeira Liga is poor, as they have won just one of their last ten home games in the league.

The visitors head into this game just a point behind the home side, so it is vital that they avoid defeat in this clash. Estoril heads into this game on the back of consecutive league wins against Tondela and last time out a 2-0 victory over Sporting Lisbon.

However, Estoril have won just three of their last 17 games in the Portuguese top-flight. Those consecutive wins may just lift spirits at the club currently occupying 17th place in the league table.

Their recent Primeira Liga games have been relatively high scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in five of their last eight games.

Estoril have a poor recent away record in the Primeira Liga, having failed to win in their last eight league games on their travels, suffering six defeats in the process.

However, the visitors have a decent recent record against Moreirense, as they have lost just one of their last nine meetings with the home side.

These two teams are well matched and Forebet predicts that this clash will finish all square.
