Moreirense vs Casa Pia prediction and betting tips on January 8, 2024
We present an exclusive forecast for the match between Moreirense and Casa Pia, as the teams clash in the 16th round of the Portuguese championship.
Moreirense
Formally a newcomer to the Primeira Liga, Moreirense returned to the elite after a brief absence. This season has been a success for the club, holding a respectable sixth place in the championship. The seven-point gap from the top quartet is noteworthy, with a game in hand. In the last round, the team secured a goalless draw away against Vizela.
Moreirense is currently in excellent form, having not lost in ten consecutive matches (6 wins and 4 draws). The team enters this match without any personnel losses.
Casa Pia
The "Geese" have not impressed with notable results, tallying 4 wins, as many draws, and 7 losses. With these stats, Casa Pia occupies a modest 12th place in the league table. Considering that most competitors have played their 16th-round matches, a victory could propel them at least three positions up.
In their last match, Casa Pia suffered a 1:3 defeat at home against Braga. Two players will be unavailable to aid their teammates in the upcoming battle.
Statistics and Match prediction
The opponents have not faced each other in official matches previously, with only one friendly encounter last summer, where Casa Pia secured a 1:0 home victory. Considering the form and league positions of the opponents, it's not surprising that Moreirense is favored in this confrontation. Despite expectations of a less thrilling battle from the teams, we disagree and suggest placing a bet on the total goals being over 2.
