Moreirense (home)
- Vasco Botelho da Costa, who joined Moreirense in June 2025, has implemented a high-intensity system where the hosts press relentlessly to disorganize their opponents and allow their talented players to run at them at pace.
- Moreirense’s game plan is to play vertically and at speed, with Dinis Pinto providing the creative spark in the middle and Guilherme Schettine the main outlet on the flank.
- The host’s relentless pressing and offensive bursts often create chances in bunches, although they can be caught out just as easily when the opposition is in control.
-
Recent form:
- Moreirense have a poor recent form streak with 4 defeats and 1 win from their last 5 matches, including consecutive losses.
- According to our Moreirense vs FC Porto betting tips, Moreirense have a perfect record at home in the Primeira Liga 2025/2026, winning all four of their fixtures and scoring 9 goals in the process.
Porto (away)
- FC Porto are the form favorites to win on Monday with an unbeaten record across their last 5 games (W3, D2) across all competitions.
- Francesco Farioli’s Porto, by contrast, prefer to control the tempo and dictate the play.
- Farioli, who was appointed as the head coach in July 2025, has brought structure and a methodical, possession-based approach to the club that allows them to create positional overloads and control the ball.
- The visitors have also learned to be patient in build-up play and to press in numbers when out of possession.
-
Recent away form:

Betting Insights
- Our Moreirense vs FC Porto betting tips suggest that with odds of 1.33 for an away win, it makes more sense to bet on the long shot (9.25 Moreirense) or the draw (4.8) than back Porto to emerge victorious in this game.
- However, there is still value to be had in the 1.83 priced Over 2.5 goals line as Porto tend to score regularly on their travels (2.75 goals per away game) and Moreirense have scored an average of 2.25 goals in their four home games this term.
- Despite Moreirense’s perfect home record, Porto’s unbeaten run, away form (W2, D1 from their 3 most recent away fixtures) and far superior squad depth means that the league leaders should come through as winners.
Prediction
However, Farioli will have improved the tactical nous of his team in the intervening time and the league leaders will be the overwhelming favorites to take the 3 points in this one.
