Our prediction for this Portugal Primeira Liga match:
Moreirense
Match Time & Date:
13/03/2022
12:00 PM
Prediction: 0-1
Sporting
Buoyed by a 2-0 win over Arouca, Sporting CP will look to stay in the title race when they face Moreirense at Parque Joaquim de Almeida Freitas. The Lions are six points behind league leaders Porto, meaning that this has to go down as yet another must-win game for the visiting team. All Daniel Braganca, Joao Palhinha, and Pedro Goncalves are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the away team.
Moreirense, on the other hand, aim to escape the relegation zone. The hosts failed to impress in a 1-0 loss to Maritimo, and given their poor form in the Portuguese top flight, we predict that the reigning champions will emerge triumphant in Monday’s clash. The good news for the hosts is that experienced midfielder Fabio Pacheco is back to the starting XI after serving his one-game ban in the last league match.

Kevin Mirallas is a Belgian footballer player born on 5th October 1987, who started showing his potential at a very young age.

The move to Saint Etienne did not work out as planned, but a two-year stint at Olympiakos that followed helped the player get his career back on track.

However, just like the entire team, the highly rated footballer suffered a serious dip in form and he has struggled for playing time over the last couple of years.
