Prediction: 0-1
Porto
Thanks to Moussa Marega’s goal Porto defeated Vitoria Guimaraes in midweek to melt Sporting CP’s advantage in the standings to only four points. The Dragons are determined to win their 30th Primeira Liga title, and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at Moreirense. Porto are on a seven-game winning run in the Portuguese top flight, and it is no wonder they are seen as favourites to win Monday’s clash.
Even though all Marcano, Mbaye, and Sanusi are likely to miss the game with injuries, away win should be considered. Moreirense, on the other hand, are stuck in the middle of the standings, and seeing that they have little to play for in the season finale, we are tempted to put our money on the title-chasing side. Pires, who suffered an injury in the goalless draw with Santa Clara, has joined Amador, Lacerda, Mane, and Pedro in the recovery room.
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 (Porto):
Futebol Clube do Porto are one of Portugal’s biggest football clubs playing their matches in front of 50,000 people at their Estadio do Dragao. Porto form biggest rivalries with two other Big Three clubs in Portugal and regular league title contenders – Benfica and Sporting CP. Rivalries between the clubs stem from the historical, political, economical and cultural discrepancies between the cities of Porto and Lisbon. The Dragons, as they are commonly known in Portugal, are the second most successful Portuguese team with a total of 74 trophies to their name.
Porto hold a record of five consecutive league titles which are part of the total tally of 27 Primeira Liga trophies. FC Porto’s success extends to the international scene as well with seven European titles. Two-time European champions from 1987 and 2004, Porto also won two UEFA Cup/Europa League titles, the UEFA Super Cup and the International Cup on two occasions. Together with Barcelona, Real Madrid and Manchester United, Porto have the most appearances in the UEFA Champions League group stage – the total of 20.
