This season, Moreirense made a triumphant return to Portugal’s top-tier competition, and have shocked many by currently holding the sixth spot on the table. This puts them in a strong position to vie for the European cups slots. Of their last three matches, Moreirense secured victories in two. Their most recent game saw them triumph 1-0 at home against Chaves. With a significantly higher XG of 1.70 compared to Chaves’ 0.87, the home side’s win was well deserved. Looking forward to their Monday night clash against Sporting CP, Moreirense will carry a high level of confidence due to their recent successes.

Sporting CP clinified their most recent championship title in 2021. They currently share the top spot with Benfica, though they’ve played one game less, leading Sporting CP to hope this could be the season they secure their 20th Liga Portugal trophy. The team, led by Ruben Amorim, boasts a winning streak of four consecutive games across all competitions. In their last match, they triumphed 3-1 against Young Boys in the Europa League away game, demonstrating superior skill.
