Moreirense (home)
- Moreirense are possession-based, versatile and extremely organised in the manner in which they have played since Botelho da Costa took over the reins in July 2025.
- The Green and Whites have the ball for long periods, dictate the tempo and like to control the pace of the match in a way that is similar to the way the Portuguese national side have played over the past decade.
- 7th in the Primeira Liga with 42 points from 33 games, Moreirense have been consistent and reliable for the majority of the campaign, and their home form has been strong with two wins from their last two home matches.
- Moreirense have lost just six of their 16 home Primeira Liga games this season (W8, D2).
AVS Futebol SAD (away)
- AVS Futebol SAD travel to the Estádio Comendador Joaquim de Almeida Freitas on Saturday looking to improve results as they sit bottom of the Primeira Liga.
- AVS have drawn three and won two of their last five, while they have drawn one and won one of their last two away from home.
- AVS will sit deep and counter-attack in numbers, which should make for an interesting tactical chess match on Saturday.
- AVS remain in 18th with 20 points from 33 matches, but they have conceded a total of 40 goals on the road, which is worryingly high.
- AVS Futebol SAD have conceded 40 goals in 16 away Primeira Liga matches this season.
Head-to-Head
- Moreirense have won three and drawn one of their last four games against AVS Futebol SAD in all competitions.
- A 2-0 win away at AVS in the reverse fixture of this game is one of several Moreirense victories over the Green and Whites this term.
AVS
- Guilherme Schettine has been the main attacking outlet all season, netting nine in 15 league appearances, but it has been Alan who has provided the spark over the last five with two of the team’s last six goals.
- Nene has four Primeira Liga goals this term from 21 appearances, but Pedro Lima is the one in form with three in the last five.
