Moreirense vs FC Porto Predictions

• Porto won their final nine league games last season
• Moreirense are winless in their last 12 meetings with Porto
• There were three or fewer goals in 13 of Porto’s 17 away league games last term

Porto should continue where they left off

Victory in their final nine games was not enough for Porto to clinch last season’s Primeira Liga as they fell two points short in their pursuit of Benfica.

Having lost 2-0 to Benfica in the Portuguese Super Cup in midweek, Sergio Conceicao will be demanding a response from his players in their season opener at Moreirense.

Porto were extremely efficient on their travels last season, amassing 40 points from 17 games and losing only once.

That defeat came as a shock at Rio Ave but they are unlikely to slip up at newly-promoted Moreirense, who have taken only one point from their last six league meetings with Porto.

The arrivals of Nico Gonzalez and Fran Navarro look promising and it is worth remembering they conceded only 11 goals in those 17 away games last term.

Even more interestingly, 11 of those 17 games featured under 2.5 goals and only four those road trips going over 3.5 goals.

With Moreirense going to look to keep things tight on their top-flight return, backing Porto to win & under 3.5 goals could be the way to go.

Correct-score punters should side with 2-0, which is a scoreline that clicked in six of their 27 league wins last season.
