Prediction: 2-1
Moreirense
Estadio Joao Cardoso will host Saturday’s football game between Tondela and Moreirense. Os Auriverdes failed to spoil Sporting’s party in Lisbon, with the team dropping to 9th place in the table. Tondela, though, did well to beat Maritimo in their last home game in the national championship, which is surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of the visit of Moreirense. All Agra, Hernando, and Mbaye have been tested positive for coronavirus, while Goncalves is struggling with a knee injury.
The visitors, on the other hand, head into the match following a 2-2 draw with Gil Vicente. Moreirense, though, are not regarded as good travelers, and that is the main reason why we are tempted to put our money on Tondela this time out. In their last meeting in the Portuguese top flight Tondela defeated Moreirense 3-2.
Highlighted Player (Jhon Murillo):
Jhon Murillo is a Venezuela international who was born in El Nula on November 21, 1995. After spending his youth career at San Camilo and Alto Apure, Murillo started playing for Zamora at the senior level.
The Venezuelan forward scored 19 goals in 59 appearances for el Blanquinegro before joining the famous Portuguese club Benfica. However, Murillo did not see any game action at Benfica in Primeira Liga as he was immediately sent on loan to Tondela. After ending his loan spell with the Auriverdes, Jhon Murillo signed a loan deal with Turkish club Kasimpasa in the 2017/2018 season.
In 2018 he returned to Tondela, signing a permanent contract with the Portuguese outfit. Speaking of his international career, the Tondela winger made his Venezuela debut on February 11, 2015, in a friendly against Honduras, scoring the winner on his debut. His primary position is left winger, but he is capable of producing excellent performances as a centre-forward as well.
Highlighted Team (Moreirense):
Moreirense are a Portuguese football club based in Moreira de Conegos. Founded on November 1, 1938, Os verdes e brancos welcome their rivals at Parque Moreira de Conegos Guimaraes, the venue which can hold up to 9,000 spectators.
Moreirense wear green and white shirts and white shorts when playing at home, whilst black and red are the dominant colours of their away kit. In the 2016/2017 season Os verdes e brancos did well to win the Taca da Liga trophy, with the team beating Braga 1-0 in the title game.
Caue scored the winner for Moreirense on the stroke of half time. Moreirense impressed in the 2018/2019 Primeira Liga season, finishing the process in sixth position in the standings. The club missed out on a place in the Europa League on goal difference to Vitoria de Guimaraes. Penafiel are considered one of the club’s main rivals.
