In the upcoming Liga Portugal match, Famalicao is strongly tipped to win against Moreirense. Famalicao boasts a solid defense, having conceded only nine goals at home this season, making them third-best in the league defensively. On the other hand, Moreirense is struggling, having lost their last three matches to nil and failing to score recently. Famalicao's impressive form, including their tenacity against top teams like Porto, adds to their likelihood of securing a win. The expert recommendation is to back Famalicao to win, potentially without conceding any goals.

Moreirense are having huge issues scoring goals which is bad news before a trip to Famalicao. The hosts have a formidable defence and can win this one with a clean sheet.

HTH - Nothing In It


Famalicao have a narrow 7-6 lead against Moreirense alongside eight draws.

Famalicao on Fire


Famalicao have won four of their last six matches to jump to fifth on the table and put pressure on Braga for fourth spot. They ended March with three straight wins.

Two of those came at home, 1-0 victories over Arouca and Nacional. They have conceded just nine goals at home this season, the third best defensive record in the Liga.

Hugo Oliveira’s side are coming off an impressive 2-2 draw at Porto. They ended with 1.81-0.40 xG but got it done late, Rodrigo Pinheiro equalising in the 98th minute.

The manager was philosophical after the result: “Life is made of these moments. Many years from now, some of our fans will remember when Famalicao played with their chests out at the Estádio do Dragão against a very strong Porto and drew at the end. That’s what fuels us.”

Goals Rare for Moreirense


Moreirense have gone six games without a win which includes four defeats. They have lost three straight and haven’t scored in that run.

Vasco Botelho da Costa’s side lost 3-0 at Porto where they had 0.14 xG. Returning home had little effect, ending with 0.58-1.97 xG in a 1-0 defeat against Arouca.

Moreirense delivered  a similar performance last time out, a 1-0 loss against Braga. This time they registered 0.40-1.24 expected goals, quality chances extremely hard to come by. 

The manager discussed the offensive issues his side are facing: “Offensively, I think we did little, we weren't ambitious enough. We needed to be practical and objective.”
