A place in the semi-finals of the Portuguese League Cup will be at stake when Porto and Moreirense face off at Estádio do Dragão on Thursday night.
The hosts booked a place in the Quarter-final thanks to a 3-0 win over Sintrense, while Moreirense came from a goal down to beat Santarem 2-1 in their own third round encounter.
Porto have been difficult to beat at home this season. The Dragons boast three wins from their last 3 outings - at the time of writing and that run includes two home wins. Vítor Bruno’s side have hosted seven teams at Estádio do Dragão this season, registering seven wins with the only draw coming in the Europa League against Manchester United.
Moreirense are also preparing for Thursday’s game with a three game winning streak after beating the likes of Santa Clara, Boavista in the Primeira Liga and Santarem in Taca de Portugal. Having scored five goals and kept two clean sheets in that spell, they will fancy their chances against Porto on Thursday night.
Porto vs Moreirense Betting Tips: Porto & Over 2.5 goals
When it comes to scoring goals, Porto have had little or no problems in recent weeks and they boast at least two goals from each of their last eight games across all competitions. Four of the five home games played in that spell produced at least three goals and I fancy Thursday’s game to have a similar result.
Moreirense have also had little problems when it comes to scoring goals in recent weeks, especially away from Parque Joaquim de Almeida Freitas. The Green and whites scored in all their six away games this season and just one of them produced under two goals.
- Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals
- Porto vs Moreirense prediction: 3-1
