Benfica will be looking to stay in the Primeira Liga title race when they take on Moreirense at Estadio da Luz on Matchday 18.
The Eagles are on a four-game winning run at home in all competitions, and the bookies see them as favourites to win Saturday’s clash.
Defender Andre Almeida is back from suspension, while all Meite, Vlachodimos, Radonjic, Pizzi, and Yaremchuk have been tested positive for coronavirus.
Moreirense, on the other hand, quickly bounced back from a 2-1 loss to Tondela, with the team beating Vizela thanks to Rafael Martins’ goal.
Ricardo Sa Pinto’s troops are not regarded as good travelers, and seeing that they have already suffered five defeats on the road this season, we are tempted to put our money on Benfica.
Moreirense midfielder Sori Mane is on Africa Cup of Nations, but he should be the only absentee in the away team.
This match will be played on 15/01/2022 at 19:00
Score Prediction: 2-0
Recommended pick: Home Win
