Our prediction for this Portugal Primeira Liga match:
Moreirense
Match Time & Date:
09/01/2021
09:00 AM
Prediction: 1-1
Guimaraes
Moreirense will be looking to bounce back from a 3-0 loss to Porto when they host Vitoria Guimaraes at their Parque Joaquim de Almeida Freitas. Moreirense did suffered the heavy defeat at Estadio do Dragao, but it has to be noted that they conceded two goals in the dying minutes of the match. Os Verdes e Brancos are eager to climb to the top half of the table, but beating Guimaraes is easier said than done.
Joao Henriques’ troops were not in action at the weekend, meaning that the lack of fitness should not prove to be a big problem for them. Guimaraes have been producing fine displays in the Primeira Liga of late, and we predict that they are going to grab something from Sunday’s clash. Taking everything into account, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on draw.
Highlighted Player (Pedro Nuno ):
After spending his youth career at the likes of Buarcos, Naval, Benfica, and Academica, Pedro Nuno continued playing for the Briosa at the senior level. Pedro Nuno scored five goals in 25 appearances for Academica in the league, which persuaded Benfica chiefs to sign him on November 28, 2016.
The Portuguese midfielder, though, was immediately sent on loan to Tondela, where he scored four goals in 45 appearances for the club. In 2018 Pedro Nuno moved to Moreirense, and he has been playing for Os verdes e brancos ever since. He made his Primeira Liga debut with Moreirense on August 11, 2019, in a 3-1 away loss to Sporting Braga.
Pedro Nuno was born in Buarcos, Portugal, on January 13, 1995, and he wears the number 27 jersey at Moreirense. His primary position is left winger, but he is used as both second striker and attacking midfielder. Pedro Nuno has yet to make his debut with the Portugal senior team.
Highlighted Team (Guimaraes):
Vitoria Guimaraes have always been in the shadow of famous Portuguese sides Porto, Benfica and Sporting, but over the years they have established themselves as a top-table side in the Primeira Liga. Os Vimaranenses did well to win Taca de Portugal in the 2012/2013 season, wi the team beating Benfica in the final of the domestic cup.
Vitoria Guimaraes finished the 2016/2017 Primeira Liga campaign in fourth place in the standings and, as a result, they booked their place in the Europa League qualifiers. The Portuguese side will face the likes of Salzburg, Konyaspor and Olympic Marseille in Group I and they are seen as underdogs in their group. Vitoria Guimaraes welcome their rivals at Estadio D. Alfonso Henriques and the venue can hold up to 30.000 spectators.
Os Vimaranenses play their home games in white shirts and white shorts, whilst they wear black when playing on the road. Their neighbours Braga are considered Guimaraes’ fiercest rivals and the two teams face each other in the derby of Minho Province.
