Having taken all 3 points, with a crucial 1-0 away win over Estrela Amadora in their last league game, Casa Pia will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work.  In that game they had 34% possession and managed 12 attempts on goal, with 5 on target, compared to Estrela Amadora who had 14 attempts and 3 on target.  

Having conceded 8 goals and scored just 3 in their last 6 games, they have been very fortunate to pick up 6 points.   Of their last 6 games played at home, they've have been unable to score in 4 games and only kept 1 clean sheet.  

A recent poor run of home form for Os Gansos in the league has seen them lose 3 games in a row at Estádio Pina Manique.

A point gained from their 1-1 draw against Benfica in their previous encounter will not be considered a bad outcome for Moreirense.  They achieved 34% possession in that match and had 6 strikes at goal, with 4 hitting the target, up against Benfica's tally of 15 efforts at goal, 4 of which were on target.  

Manager César Peixoto will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 10 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 7 goals conceded in the same period.  They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.  

They have had a strong run of form recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 games and picking up 4 wins along the way.  

Luis Asué will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for Moreirense.
