- Competition: Liga Portugal
- Date: Saturday, 28th December, 2024
- Kickoff: 18:00 UK / 19:00 CET
- Venue: Estádio António Coimbra da Mota (Estoril)
Since returning to the Portuguese top-flight division in the 2021/22 season, Estoril were between 9th and 14th in the following three seasons and won between 39 and 33 points. This season, they are struggling once again and are on pace for another similar season as they are floating around a similar point per game as in the seasons before. Right now, they are in 13th place with 14 points after 15 rounds. They are only two points away from the danger zone, and it is crucial for them to win points against one of the worst road teams in the league.
Moreirense came to this season after a really good one last season when they finished sixth, coming close to securing Europe. This season, Moreirense were solid, but after losing three out of the last four, they dropped to 8th place. Currently, they have 20 points from 15 rounds, but they are still much closer to European spots than the relegation zone.
Estoril vs Moreirense pick: Estoril to (AH 0) win
Estoril are not playing great, to be fair. Still, at home, they have been good lately, losing just once in the last four matches. Generally, most of their poor performances happened away from home.
On the other hand, even though Moreirense showed more throughout the season, they really struggled away from home. On the road, they are on a four-game losing streak while failing to score on three occasions. Away from home, Moreirense lost 70% of their games!
Neither team is in good form, but we believe that Moreirense's terrible road record could be the deciding factor, and we believe that Estoril is closer to winning the upcoming game.

Moreirense team news
After a 3:0 loss to FC Porto, coach Cesar Peixoto spoke to the media. He was fairly satisfied and said they did well until conceding the second goal in the 66th minute. He noted that maybe the results suggest that this was an easy game for Porto, but that was not the case.
For the upcoming game, the coach should have almost the entire squad. Only Guilherme Liberato should remain sidelined with an injury.
