Prediction: 1-0
Moreirense
Estadio de Sao Miguel will host Sunday’s football game between Santa Clara and Moreirense, the two teams sitting in the opposite halves of the table. Santa Clara aim to bounce back from a 1-0 loss to Boavista and a triumph over Moreirense will see them put an end to their three-game winless run. Even though there are no fresh injury worries in the home team, defender Sidney Lima should be recalled to the starting XI.
The visitors, on the other hand, are stuck in the middle of the table with 27 points on their account. Moreirense aim to climb to top ten in the standings, but given their three-game losing run on the road, there is a big value in betting on the home side. Earlier this season, Moreirense defeated Santa Clara 1-0, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge.
