Moreirense vs FC Porto

FC Porto will be looking to strengthen their lead at the top of the table when they travel to Moreirense for a Monday night Liga Portugal fixture.

The visitors have been heads above everyone else this season and are looking almost unstoppable in the league. They should be too strong for the hosts, who have been out of sorts in recent weeks.

Moreirense News

Moreirense suffered a 3-2 defeat at Nacional in their previous Liga Portugal fixture despite taking an early lead through Vasco Sousa. They followed up that result with a 1-0 loss to lower league side AD Fafe in a Taca de Portugal clash.

Both results highlight Moreirense’s recent struggles as they have now lost three of their last four matches across all competitions. However, their home form remains solid with Vasco Costa's team winning their last four Liga Portugal matches in front of their fans.

Moreirense have quality going forward and will be keen to put on a show after the Taca de Portugal defeat. Four of their last five matches across all competitions have produced over 2.5 goals.

FC Porto News

Porto have been top dogs in Liga Portugal this season and remain unbeaten after eight league matches. Francesco Farioli's team have picked up seven wins on this run and sit three points clear at the top of the table.

However, Porto have stumbled slightly lately, playing out a 0-0 home draw with Benfica last time out in Liga Portugal before falling 2-0 at Nottingham Forest in the UEFA Europa League. They will be keen to make a swift return to winning ways and head into Monday's clash with six wins in their last seven away matches across all competitions.

The goals often flow freely for Porto, who have grabbed the opener in the first half in two of their last three away matches. They have also scored over 1.5 goals in five of their last seven away matches, while four of the last six fixtures have produced over 2.5 goals.

Head to Head

Porto have 10 wins and one draw while Moreirense have earned just one victory in the last 12 matches. The visitors did the double last season, earning a 3-0 away victory before returning home for a 3-1 triumph.

Verdict

Moreirense v FC Porto

Porto are usually sharp going forward and having scored over 1.5 goals in five of the last six meetings with Moreirense, a repeat could be expected. The visitors have also scored first in the first half in two of their last three away matches, and a similar pattern could be considered.

Moreirense often struggle in this fixture and head into Monday's clash with three defeats in their last four matches. Porto have earned a win and over 2.5 goals in four of the last five meetings with the hosts, and a similar outcome is on the cards here.
