Estoril and Moreirense meet in a situation that is not all that different. Both just ended their latest match with a draw apiece, but the paths before that were clearly different. Estoril have not beaten anyone in 5 league matches in a row, while Moreirense had just lost 2 in a row before stopping the slide with a draw in the cup. Estoril have scored only 4 goals from 8 league matches, one of the bluntest attacks in the table, but the defence is not that bad either, since they have conceded 12 from the same number of matches. Moreirense have the opposite problem: they have scored 8 but conceded 15. The defence is clearly leaky, especially in the second half, when they concede more goals than in the first. Moreirense's pattern over the last 10 matches says they do not hold much of the ball, averaging only about 40% per game, but Estoril also have about as much possession as their opponents and are not a side that presses hard. This looks like a game where both sides take turns opening up and shutting down, with neither one controlling it throughout. Estoril's first halves at home often end with them behind or level, rarely leading, but in the second half they tend to come back and play better. Moreirense away often start well in the first half but fade clearly after the break. This game should see a fairly closed first half and a more open second half.
