My Prediction
FC Porto by 2Looking at this Liga Portugal matchup, where Moreirense is taking on FC Porto, there are a few factors to consider.
Starting at the goal, FC Porto has Diogo Costa holding down the fort with a decent 7.13 rating and 4 saves. Moreirense seems to have better hands in goal with Kewin, who has a slightly lower rating of 6.50, but has 6 saves under his belt. But a game is not only won by a goalie - it'll take the whole team.
For Moreirense, the notable players are Guilherme Schettine and Dinis Pinto. Schettine, with a 7.03 rating and a goal to his name, will need his 74.4% accurate pass rate to help move the ball up the field while Pinto will have to capitalize on another shot on goal to bring his goal total from the season to 2.
Over on FC Porto's side, we can't ignore the performance of Nico González and Fábio Vieira. González boasts a sizzling 7.90 rating with a goal during the season, which is impressive considering he's only had one shot on goal. Vieira also comes into the game with a strong 7.83 rating but has found the back of the net even with his lower accurate pass %.
Looking at the previous encounters, FC Porto seems to have Moreirense's number with a 5-0 and a 2-1 win. FC Porto clearly has a stronger regular season record with a 11-1-2 compared to Moreirense's mediocre 6-2-6. The recent results also favor FC Porto with solid wins over CF Estrela Amadora and Casa Pia while Moreirense suffered losses against CD Nacional and Rio Ave.
