📏 Form Guide

Moreirense

DWLDDL

Moreirense will be looking for an improved result here following the 2-0 Primeira Liga defeat in their last game at the hands of Vitória Guimarães.

In that match, Moreirense had 60% possession and 14 shots at goal with 2 on target. At the other end, Vitória Guimarães got 15 shots at goal with 7 of them on target. André Almeida (30') was the scorer for Vitória Guimarães.

It has not been often in recent times that Moreirense have shown defensive steel. The facts show that Os verdes e brancos have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 games, shipping 8 goals on the way.

Pre-game facts show that Moreirense:

• have not lost a league tie with Nacional in their previous 7 games.
• are without a home win in the past 9 league games. It's been disappointing.

Nacional

LLLLWL

Following on from tasting defeat last time out to Sporting Lisbon in Primeira Liga competition, Nacional will be hoping to turn things around here.

In that match, Nacional managed 30% possession and 2 attempts at goal with 1 on target. Sporting CP had 19 shots at goal with 8 on target. Zouhair Feddal (83') and Jovane Cabral (90') scored for Sporting Lisbon.

It has become apparent that Nacional have suffered from a lack of goals over their last six clashes, recording the disappointing return of just 4. In those matches, Os Alvinegros have also seen the overall goal tally against them equal 15. That trend might not follow through into this next game, of course.

Their past results show that Nacional:

• have left without a victory over Moreirense in away games against them for the last 3 matches in the league.
• are without an away win for the past 6 matches in the league.
