Prediction: 1-1
Moreirense
Penafiel kick off their Taca da Liga campaign with a home match against Moreirense. The Liga Portugal 2 side aim to build on a 2-1 win over Benfica B, but Thursday’s clash will be anything but a walk in the park for the home side. Keep in mind that Os Rubros-Negros have recorded no more than one win at home ground this term. Adilio limped off with injury at the weekend, with fellow midfielder Castanheira likely to step up.
Os Verdes e Brancos, on the other hand, head into the match following a 1-1 draw with Tondela. Moreirense are leading the chase for automatic promotion to Primeira Liga, and seeing that they are fully focused on the league games, we are tempted to put our money on Penafiel. Both Lucas Freitas and Ofori should be recalled to the starting XI after coming as substitutes in the last league match.
