Prediction: 1-0
Moreirense
Famalicao play host to Moreirense at their Estadio Municipal de Famalicao in a highly-anticipated relegation six-pointer. Famalicao aim to escape bottom three, and this game could be the turning point for the home team. Both Heriberto Tavares and Diogo Figueiras have been tested positive for coronavirus, while Ruben Lima should miss out with injury.
Moreirense, on the other hand, desperately needed a win against Belenenses, and they managed to get one in style (4-1). Os verdes e brancos are high on spirits ahead of Sunday’s clash, but given their poor away record (1-4-6) in the 2021/2022 season, we believe that there is a big value in betting on Famalicao. Ricardo Sa Pinto should have a full squad to choose from. You should bear in mind that the two sides played out a 2-2 draw in the first half of the season.
Highlighted Player (Kevin Mirallas):
Kevin Mirallas is a Belgian footballer player born on 5th October 1987, who started showing his potential at a very young age. After coming through the youth ranks at Standard Liege, the forward moved to Lille in 2004 and he impressed playing for les Dogues, scoring 10 goals in 76 league appearances.
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. Having scored 34 goals in 52 league outings, Mirallas decided to join Everton and he enjoyed a bright start to his career in England. 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.
