Moreirense vs Chaves Predictions

• There has been fewer than three goals scored in five of the last seven meetings between these two.
• Chaves have opened the scoring in four of their last five matches against Moreirense.
• Moreirense have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their last five matches.

Uphill climb for the hosts

The hosts have got it all to do in the second leg of this relegation playoff as they currently trail Chaves 2-0 on aggregate. It was hardly a surprise to see Moreirense in this position given that they were defeated in 19 of their 34 league matches in the regular season and scored an average of less than a goal per game. They’ll need to forget about that here and will need to attack from the first whistle to try and overturn the deficit.

On the flip side, Chaves had a fine season in the second division of Portuguese football and tasted defeat just six times across their 34 matches. They were the second-top scorers in the league and they arrive here with the advantage. All they need to do is remain tight at the back and potentially nick another goal to achieve promotion at the expense of opponents Moreirense.

Chaves to frustrate the hosts and achieve victory

We think that Chaves can be resolute and frustrate the hosts here. They have the advantage and the pressure is on Moreirense. We’d be surprised to see a hatful of goals here and will side with the unders.
