Moreirense Benfica betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario is that Benfica will win. Moreirense has the home advantage, but Benfica is going through an excellent form moment and the players are ever more coordinated. Moreover, coach Rui Vitoria played the last match with an alternative starting eleven, so most of the players in this match should be rested and in great shape.

Preview
Moreirense and Benfica meet at Parque Desportivo Comendador Joaquim de Almeida Freitas, in a match for the 20th round of the Primeira Liga. Benfica got a home win by (3‑2), in the last league head‑to‑head, played in 29‑08‑2015. The head‑to‑head record at this stadium favours the away team, since in the last 6 head‑to‑heads they won 5 and tied 1. Accordingly, in the last head‑to‑head played at this stadium, for the Taça da Liga, on 26‑01‑2016, Benfica won by (1‑6). Iuri Medeiros (25' ) scored for Moreirense and Talisca (11' , 15' and 82' ), N. Gaitán (20' and 89' ) and R. Jiménez (29' ) for Benfica. Moreirense registers significant differences between home and away results, so the home/away factor is worth special attention.

Analysis Moreirense

The home team is currently in the 14th position of the league, with 20 points won, after 5 wins, 5 draws and 9 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in an away match against Arouca, by (1‑2). In the last match, they lost in a home match against Estoril, by (1‑3). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 5 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses in away matches, with 21 goals scored and 25 conceded; against 4 wins, 5 draws and 6 losses at their stadium, with 17 goals scored and 24 conceded. For the league, Moreirense won 9 points out of 27 possible points, after 2 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses in the last 9 home matches. Their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their home matches for this competition there is a tendency for few goals, since 6 of the last 9 matches have ended with Under 2,5 goals. They have conceded the first goal in 10 of their 19 matches for this competition, and have only turned the score around in 1.

Moreirense comes to this match after a heavy 1-6 loss against this very same opponent, in a match for the League Cup. Midfielder Filipe Gonçalves is suspended, due to the accumulation of yellow cards. Young Iuri Medeiros is the most creative player of the home tea and has scored 4 goals this season. Against a much stronger opponent, coach Miguel Leal should present a defensive strategy, to avoid allowing spaces to the opponent’s forwards and explore counterattacks.

Confirmed Lineup: Igor Stefanovic, Pierre Sagna, Evaldo, Marcelo Oliveira, Danielson, João Palhinha, Fábio Espinho, Vitor Gomes, Iuri Medeiros, Ernest Ohemeng, Emmanuel Boateng.
Coach: P. Martins Alves.
