Prediction published on 24/11/2022, 22:22  by Indran in Football Predictions

Moreirense welcomes Estrela to the Parque Joaquim de Almeida Freitas for this match in the Portugal League Cup. Both sides are currently playing in the Portuguese League 2 with the home side top of the league with 32 points while the visitors are third on 22 points. Moreirense will be hoping to transfer their excellent league form in to this competition and started their campaign with a win over Penafiel in their opening group match. The home side have been in superb form this season and lead the league table by four points. Moreirense look set to make a swift return to top flight football after they were relegated last season. This is very possible if they continue with their great form although their attention will be on Cup duties for a while. They have only lost twice in their last 20 matches with 15 wins and three draws.

Estrela suffered an opening round loss in the competition as they went down to Benfica 3-2. They gave a good account of themselves against the leaders in the Portuguese Liga. The visitors will be under immense pressure as another loss will see them eliminated from the competition. Estrela loss in the last match was their first in six matches across all competitions. They will be facing a team that is their direct rival in the race for promotion in the league and will be hoping to get one over the league leaders. Estrela have struggled on the road as they have only won two of their last 12 away matches across all competitions.
