Our prediction for this Portugal Primeira Liga match:
Tondela will look to bounce back from a 3-0 loss to Gil Vicente when they take on Moreirense in a postponed Primeira Liga fixture. Tondela are desperate to emerge triumphant in Monday’s relegation six-pointer, but they will have to prove their worth on the field. Both Goncalves and Muratore are sidelined with injuries for the hosts, who are on a four-game losing run in the national championship.
Moreirense, on the other hand, aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Estoril. Os Canarinhos regained a much-needed confidence in midweek, and given Tondela’s poor form, we predict that the visitors are going to pick up one point from Monday’s clash. In their last meeting at the venue the two teams played out a goalless draw, and we predict that the history is going to repeat itself. Pablo and Frimpong should be the only absentees in the away team this time out.
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.

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.
