Moreirense

DLWLDL

Moreirense will be wanting a better result here following a 3-0 Primeira Liga losing effort in their last game against Benfica.

In that game, Moreirense managed 50% possession and 8 shots on goal with 0 on target. On the other side, Benfica had 19 attempts at goal with 8 on target. Orkun Kökçü (18'), Tomás Araújo (45') and Benjamin Rollheiser (78') scored for Benfica.

Moreirense have not been in good attacking form of late. Their sum of goals equals just 3 versus opposition teams during their previous six outings. In those meetings, Moreirense have also seen the tally of goals scored against them total 7.

Pre-game facts show that Moreirense:

• have not been beaten in the league by Gil Vicente in their previous 10 matches. A decent run, indeed.

Gil Vicente

DDLLLL 📉

Since a loss in their previous game against Sporting Lisbon in Primeira Liga competition, Gil Vicente and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.

• are without a win away from home in their last 3 league matches.

📋 Team News: Moreirense

Fabiano (unknown injury) and Alhassane Sylla (unknown injury) will not be able to play for Moreirense manager Rui Borges.

We think that Os verdes e brancos will possibly use a 4-2-3-1 formation for this game and select Kewin, Fabiano Silva, Maracas, Carlos Ponck, Godfried Frimpong, Lawrence Ofori, Goncalo Franco, Joao Camacho, Alan, Kobamelo Kodisang and Vinicius Alessandro.

ℹ️ Team News: Gil Vicente

Gil Vicente manager Vítor Campelos has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Zé Carlos (unknown injury), Kiko (unknown injury) and Stanislav Kritsyuk (unknown injury) will not be playing here.

There’s a good chance that Gilistas appear most likely to utilise a 4-3-3 formation by sending out Andrew, Alex Pinto, Gabriel Pereira, Ruben Fernandes, Leonardo Buta, Kanya Fujimoto, Mory Gbane, Martim Neto, Felix Correia, Depu and Murilo.

🧠 Prediction

We’re of the view that Gil Vicente could find themselves struggling to find the net against this Moreirense side who will likely score at least once to gain the upper hand.

We’re therefore expecting a very even contest with a 1-0 advantage for Moreirense when the referee blows for full-time.

Should be interesting.
