Primeira Liga action takes place at Parque Desportivo Comendador Joaquim de Almeida Freitas on Friday evening as Moreirense hosts Benfica
Moreirense vs Benfica Betting Tips - Moreirense or Draw
Moreirense will be confident of upsetting the odds on Friday when they host a Benfica side that has struggled to find consistent form on their travels.
Both teams come into this contest having picked up six points from their first three league matches. Moreirense scored back-to-back wins against Farense and Arouca, before an away defeat at Braga last time out. Benfica, for their part, claimed home wins against Casa Pia and Estrela after an opening day defeat at Famalicao.
As mentioned, away form has been a big issue for Benfica this year, with the visitors failing to win six of their last eight away league games since February. Contrastingly, Benfica had won eight of nine previous road games before their struggles this year.
Moreirense have enjoyed a strong run of form at Parque Desportivo Comendador Joaquim de Almeida Freitas, picking up six wins from their last ten home fixtures, including each of the last three.
The Os verdes e brancos lost just two of their last ten home league contests, while they claimed a 0:0 draw when they last hosted Benfica earlier this year. In fact, Benfica failed to win three of their last four visits to this venue since 2021.
Considering the contrasting home and away form of these sides, I fancy the hosts to take at least a point on Friday so I'm backing Moreirense in the double chance market.
