Moreirense Santa Clara betting prediction

The away team is currently in the 13^th position of the league, with 17 points won, after 4 wins, 5 draws and 9 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in a home match against Sporting CP, by (3‑2). In the last match, they tied in a home match against Tondela, by (2‑2). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, since they have won 2 points in away matches and 15 points at their stadium, with 12 goals scored and 18 goals conceded at home, against 7 goals scored and 18 conceded in away matches. Their last away match for this competition ended in a loss by (2‑1) against Paços de Ferreira. In the last 8 away league matches Santa Clara has a record of 2 draws and 6 losses, so they have won 2 points out of 24 possible.

In this competition, they haven’t won any of the last 8 away matches. In their away matches there are a few frequent results: at half‑time 1‑0 (3 out of 8 matches) and after the 90' 2‑1 (3 out of 8 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away mathes there is a tendency for goals, since 6 of the last 8 matches for this competition have ended with Over 2,5 goals. In 18 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 9 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

The Santa Clara team has had a very complicated season on and especially off the pitch, with several changes directly and in the coaching staff. In the championship, the Azorean team has had an average path in the fight for maintenance and continues, at this point, in the 13th position of the league, with the same 17 points as Tondela, one above the relegation zone. After defeating the reigning champions Sporting (3-2), two rounds ago, the Azores team scored again on the last round, at home, but with little flavor, as they drew 2-2 with Tondela , after having built a two-goal lead (Rui Costa, 24', and Ricardinho, 40') and having, on several occasions, wasted good chances to score the third goal before conceding at 78' and 88'. A bittersweet debut for coach Mário Silva, successor to interim Tiago Sousa, who remains in the technical structure.

Confirmed Lineup: Marco Pereira, Mikel Villanueva, Mansur, Cristian González, Kennedy Boateng, Lincoln, Anderson Carvalho, Hidemasa Morita, Ricardo António, Crysan, Rui Costa.
Coach: Nuno Campos.
