On Thursday night, Moreirense host relegation-threatened Nacional in the Primeira Liga, as the visitors search desperately to avoid the drop to the second tier.
Moreirense in eighth-place could still mathematically be sucked into the relegation play-off spot, as they are seven points ahead of 16th place Boavista.
However, it looks highly unlikely at this stage of the season due to the number of teams between the home team and the bottom three.
A record of just one win in their last eight matches in the Primeira Liga put pay to any hopes of European action for next season, though.
Moreirense have not won in their last nine home matches in the Portuguese top-flight. Although seven of those winless league matches have ended in draws.
Both teams have scored in their last six league matches on home soil, which has contributed to just one clean sheet in nine league outings on home soil.
Nacional have slumped to the bottom of the table in recent months after a horrendous run of form in the Primeira Liga. In fact, the visitors head into this game on the back of defeats in 11 of their last 12 matches in the Portuguese top-flight.
The Islanders main problem of late in the Primeira Liga has been conceding too many goals, as they have conceded at least two goals in 11 of their last 13 matches in the Portuguese top-flight.
The poor recent defensive record means that no team have conceded more goals than Nacional in the Primeira Liga this season.
Unsurprisingly, considering their recent form, the visitors have lost their last six away games in the Primeira Liga.
A part of those poor away results have been poor defensive displays, as they have also conceded at least two goals in their last six away matches in the league.
Forebet predicts that Moreirense will record a victory in a high-scoring encounter to put the home team closer to the Portuguese second tier.
