Our prediction for this Portugal Primeira Liga match:
Following a hard-fought 1-0 win over Estrela, Casa Pia will be aiming to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Moreirense on Matchday 5. Casa Pia did well to put an end to their three-game losing run before the international break, with the team regaining a much-needed confidence. Os Gansos are eager to escape the danger zone, but Saturday’s game will be anything but a walk in the park for the home side.
The good news for the hosts is that defender Gaizka Larrazabal is back from suspension. Os verdes e brancos, on the other hand, did well to hold Portugal powerhouse Benfica to a 1-1 draw in their last league match. As Casa Pia are tough to beat at Estadio Municipal de Rio Maior, yet another share of spoils is on the horizon. Curacao forward Jeremy Antonisse should recover in time to face Joao Pereira’s troops on Matchday 5.
Highlighted Team (Moreirense):
Moreirense are a Portuguese football club based in Moreira de Conegos. Founded on November 1, 1938, Os verdes e brancos welcome their rivals at Parque Moreira de Conegos Guimaraes, the venue which can hold up to 9,000 spectators.

Caue scored the winner for Moreirense on the stroke of half time. Moreirense impressed in the 2018/2019 Primeira Liga season, finishing the process in sixth position in the standings.
