Moreirense - Santa Clara predictions

The visitors are aware of the challenge that awaits them. To come out on top against Moreirense on their own field would be a major achievement, and it is always a tough task.

The visiting team is cognizant of the task before them. A victory over Moreirense on their home field would be a noteworthy accomplishment, and it is never an easy feat.

The hosts’ narrow defeat in the previous round was a bit of an upset according to most Primeira Liga betting odds. Despite playing away, they were expected to at least put up a good fight. However, they ended up recording an HT/FT defeat.

Santa Clara defeated Boavista in the previous round with a narrow 1:0 goal difference and a lead at both halftime and the final whistle. To be frank, this outcome wasn’t much of a surprise – top online bookmakers clearly favoured Santa Clara who also had the advantage of playing at home.

Moreirense can’t seem to maintain a proper defence whenever they play as visitors. With 8 concessions over the past three away games, it’s obvious some tweaks need to be made in defence.

Santa Clara have been known to be especially dangerous when playing as visitors. They’ve scored more than 5 times in their previous 3 away games and should be taken into account for those of you who’d like to make a goal-related bet.

Though the home team have a 8_BEHIND_EUROPA_LEAGUE -point buffer between them and the relegation zone, they will definitely want to improve as the season moves on. Beating this matchup will not be easy, but it would be a great first step.

Santa Clara are currently placed as number 4th in the standings after earning 15 points so far. They likely have goals of moving up to a Europa League qualifying spot, but getting the 1 point they need seems very unlikely. The 3.01 away win odds indicate that they’re not very likely to earn any points this Saturday.

Saturday's match will see both teams at their strongest, with no players missing due to injury or suspension.

Going for a Home Win is already a fairly safe bet but we’d like to shore it up even further. The highest-value way of achieving this is through a Draw No Bet wager, which shortens the odds to 1.45 but is well worth the price.
