Prediction: 1-1
Santa Clara
Parque Joaquim de Almeida Freitas will host Saturday’s football game between Moreirense and Santa Clara. Moreirense did well to hold Benfica to a 1-1 draw at the weekend, with the team regaining a much-needed confidence. The hosts aim to escape the danger zone, and they are likely to leave their hearts on the field in the relegation six-pointer. Midfielder Sori Mane is on international duty for the home side.
Santa Clara, on the other hand, made a slow start to the season, but they have been showing signs of improvement of late. Os Acoreanos, though, are not regarded as good travelers, which is probably the main reason why the share of spoils is on the cards. In the first half of the season the two teams played out a 2-2 draw, and we predict that the history is going to repeat itself.
