Our prediction for this Portugal Primeira Liga match:
Nacional will try to recover from a 2-1 loss to Gil Vicente when they take on Moreirense in the Liga Portugal round 14. Nacional are eager to escape the relegation zone, but they will have a big fish to fry against the 7th-place visitors. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team ahead of the visit of Moreirense.
Os Verdes e Brancos, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-1 win over Sporting CP. Moreirense aim to move closer to the Conference League berth and seeing that both sides will go for a win in Saturday’s clash, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Midfielder Guilherme Liberato misses out with injury for the visiting team, while forward Hernani Infande faces race against the clock to be fit for the round 14 clash.
