Our Prediction for the Moreirense vs Benfica Match
Moreirense, often seen as a resilient side, had a successful promotion back to the Primeira Liga last season and even finished in 6th place. Benfica, on the other hand, had a turbulent season, struggling in both domestic and European competitions. Although Benfica has made some significant signings to bolster their squad, including Vangelis Pavlidis, they have shown vulnerabilities, particularly in defense.
Moreirense has shown they can score, and with Benfica's recent struggles, this match could see several goals. Although Benfica is likely to come out on top, Moreirense's form suggests they could also find the back of the net.
