Our prediction for this Portugal Primeira Liga match:
Out-of-sorts Estrela will try to record their first win of the season when they take on Moreirense on Saturday afternoon. The hosts have been struggling offensively of late, but this match could be the turning point for Filipe Martins’ troops. Both Drame and Ferro remain in the recovery room, but they should be the only absentees in the home team. Filipe Martins should stick to the 4-4-2 formation, with Rodrigo Pinho and Kikas up front.
Os Verdes e Brancos, on the other hand, failed to win the previous four league matches. Anyhow, home win should be considered as Estrela want this triumph more than Moreirense. Both Alhassane Sylla and Hernani Infande are out of contention with injuries for the visiting side. In their last meeting at Estadio Jose Gomes Moreirense defeated Estrela 1-0, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge.
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.
Moreirense wear green and white shirts and white shorts when playing at home, whilst black and red are the dominant colours of their away kit. In the 2016/2017 season Os verdes e brancos did well to win the Taca da Liga trophy, with the team beating Braga 1-0 in the title game.
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. The club missed out on a place in the Europa League on goal difference to Vitoria de Guimaraes. Penafiel are considered one of the club’s main rivals.
