Team News

Boavista
Moreirense
  • Bruno had a late return from International Duty which kept them from featuring in the Portuguese Cup match, but he will likely get his Starting XI spot back here.
  • Bacci might opt for a 3-5-2 shape once again with Diego Llorente and Bozenik starting upfront.
  • Kewin Silva, Fabiano, Alanzinho, Sidnei Tavares and Madson should return to Starting XI after being rested last weekend.
  • Schettine was a standout performer last time around with a goal and an assist and will push for a start here.

Prediction

  • If the season wasn't going well for Boavista, it got even worse last weekend when they were knocked out of the Portuguese Cup by Varzim, a third-tier team. They will be looking to bounce back next Saturday as they return to Estádio do Bessa.
  • Moreirense came from behind to eliminate UD Santarém last time around, earning their 2nd consecutive win across all competition. They've improved their defensive process, which could be decisive on Saturday.
  • The home factor might benefit Boavista, but their current run of form and their problems inside and outside the pitch might keep them from avoiding defeat against a solid opponent.
