Moreirense host Benfica at Estadio C. Joaquim de Almeida Freitas, Moreira on Wednesday, Sep 9 at 9:15 PM in the Primeira Liga.
Moreirense come into this fixture in mixed form (0W 1D 1L). Benfica, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (1W 1D 0L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. Moreirense head into this on the back of a defeat, while Benfica arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.
Despite playing at home, Moreirense face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Benfica have won 5 of 10 encounters, with 5 draws. Their last encounter ended in Moreirense won 1–4. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.8 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Moreirense a slight edge, but Benfica are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
