Vitoria Setubal vs Moreirense Predictions

Vitoria Setubal were thrashed 4-0 away at Porto last time out and will be looking for a big response from their players at home to Moreirense on Friday night. The visitors claimed a 3-0 win against newly promoted Gil Vicente to pick up their first points of the new campaign and will be out for revenge on Friday after being knocked out of the Taca da Liga by Vitoria Setubal earlier in the month.

All of the stats suggest that we won’t see both teams score in Friday’s game and favour a win for the home side. Only one of Vitoria Setubal’s last five home games against Moreirense has seen both teams score and Vitoria Setubal have won three of their last six matches against Moreirense, all of which have arrived at home, so the hosts’ confidence is bound to be high especially having already beaten Moreiense this month.

Only one of Vitoria Setubal’s and two of Moreirense’s last six matches have seen both teams score, which is why we highly doubt that both teams will hit the back of the net in Friday’s match. Vitoria Setubal are unbeaten at home in their last six matches and have kept clean sheets in their last three home games, so Moreiense are likely to find their goalscoring opportunities limited on Friday. The visitors have also lost their last two away games, at Braga in the league and Vitoria Setual in the cup, and haven’t won on the road in their last three attempts.

We’re confident that we won’t see both teams score on Friday and have predicted a final scoreline of 1-0 in favour of the home side Vitoria Setubal. The hosts might not have won in the league so far this season but have already defeated Moreirense this month and have a great defensive record despite that heavy defeat to Porto last time out. Moreirense have struggled on the road of late and are likely to find their goalscoring opportunities limited on Friday as their hosts haven’t conceded a single goal at home in their last three matches.
