Pacos Ferreira vs Moreirense Predictions

• These two sides have won just 7 of a combined 28 games this season.
• The visitors are winless in 7 away trips this term.
• Pacos Ferreira have seen under 2.5 goals in 64% of their league games.
• 7 of the last 8 meetings between these two sides have seen under 2.5 goals.

Must-win Game for Both

Two struggling Primeira Liga sides clash on Sunday, as Moreirense search for a much needed away win in this clash. Can they take advantage of a Pacos Ferreira side who are facing relegation? Meanwhile, the hosts are aiming to boost their survival chances with a victory in this home clash.

The pair are both in awful form, while they are each marking this one down as a must-win game. However, with just seven combined wins from 28 attempts, can either side really secure all three points in this encounter? Will the visitors manage to master their problems on the road, or could Pacos boost a rotten return at home?

Travel Shy Visitors

Moreirense have moved into midtable, despite having one of the league’s worst away records. The visitors have lost over half of their away trips so far, with their latest setback coming in a 1-0 defeat at Sporting. The visitors aren’t expected to fix that record when they head here, having won one of the last four visits to this ground.

Only Aves (0 points from eight games) are worse than Moreirense and their seven-game winless run on the road. They’ve got a poor scoring record on their travels too, with only six goals in those seven. The visitors have scored 67% of their total goals at home this term, failing to score in 43% of their away Primeira Liga matches.

Defences on Top

While the visitors have problems going forward on the road, Pacos Ferreira are blunt all round. The hosts have hit just 10 goals this season, an average of 0.7 per game. They’ve got the second-lowest goal tally in the division, which should see them struggle in this clash. Both sides come into this one with major issues in attack, which has led to plenty of low-scoring clashes for both.

Pacos Ferreira have failed to score in 50% of their league games this season, while 64% of their matches have finished with under 2.5 goals scored. Meanwhile, the majority of Moreirense games on the road have finished with less than three goals. We expect another low scoring clash, with seven of the last eight clashes between them finishing with fewer than three goals scored. Under 2.5 goals is our tip here, while we’re backing a 1-1 draw between these two sides.
