Moreirense vs FC Porto: Prediction for the Match on October 27, 2025

With the defending champions Sporting CP breathing down their necks in the standings, FC Porto will be aiming to snatch three points here when they make the trip to Parque Joaquim de Almeida Freitas to lock horns with Moreirense in the ninth round of the Primeira Liga. Who's going to come out on top? Let us check out the match preview, team news and betting odds to place your bets!

Moreirense: Form and Statistics

Form: LWLWL

Moreirense's floundering performance hit a new low last time out against AD Fafe in the third round of the Taca de Portugal. Despite being favored to secure a win in that match, the Moreira de Conegos-based outfit found themselves on the receiving end of a 1-0 away defeat, resulting in their early elimination from the competition.

Head coach Vasco Botelho da Costa would also find his team's prior performance against Nacional da Madeira in the Primeira Liga unsatisfactory. They were pegged back twice to succumb to a 3-2 away defeat. This result marked their third defeat in the last five league games.

The Green and Whites will be hoping to return to winning ways in front of their home crowd this Monday. The Parque Joaquim de Almeida Freitas has been their secret to success this season. At this venue, they've been an untamable beast, recording four consecutive wins in the league. Notably, they boast the best home record this season.

Moreirense: Team News

Midfielder Lawrence Ofori has missed five games for Moreirense due to an ankle injury. He is the only injury concern for the team heading into the crucial encounter against FC Porto.

Vasco Sousa won't be available for selection this Monday. The 22-year-old midfielder was shown a red card in his recent league game against Nacional da Madeira. Cedric Teguia, who has featured in every game for Moreirense this season, is expected to be the replacement.

🔖 Probable Starting XI (4-3-3): Caio; Pinto, Maracas, Marcelo, Kiko; Alanzinho, Stjepanovic, Teguia; Travassos, Guilherme Schettine, Kiko Bondoso.

⛔️ Out: Lawrence Ofori (ankle injury), Vasco Sousa (suspended).

👤 Head coach: Vasco Botelho da Costa.

FC Porto: Form and Statistics

Form: DWWWW

FC Porto's reign of terror in the 2025-26 season finally came to an end. This incident happened at the hands of a struggling English side, Nottingham Forest, in Thursday's UEFA Europa League clash. The team succumbed to a 2-0 away defeat, with Jan Bednarek's consolation goal and potential equalizer ruled out for offside in the 52nd minute.

Before this defeat, the Dragons were enjoying an 11-match unbeaten run, which consisted of ten wins and a solitary draw. During this period, they flexed their solid defense, maintaining eight shutouts and scoring a whopping 26 goals.

Francesco Farioli's charges now turn their attention to the Primeira Liga. Their last match ended in a goalless draw against Benfica at the Estadio do Dragao. This resulted in ending a seven-match winning streak.

FC Porto: Team News

Luuk de Jong (knee injury), Nehuen Perez (achilles tendon injury), and Tomas Perez (injury) are the only injury concerns for FC Porto heading into Monday's clash against Moreirense.

Head coach Francesco Farioli is expected to name an unchanged starting lineup that suffered a setback last time out against Nottingham Forest in the UEFA Europa League.

Samu has been the team's focal point of attack this season. The 21-year-old has five goals for his team in the Primeira Liga this season. In his last domestic competition appearance, he bagged a hat-trick in a 4-0 thrashing of Celoricense in the third round of the Taca de Portugal.

🔖 Probable Starting XI (4-3-3): D. Costa; Moura, Kiwior, Bednarek, A. Costa; Rosario, Varela, Froholdt; Pepe, Samu, Sainz

⛔️ Out: Luuk de Jong (knee injury), Nehuen Perez (achilles tendon injury), and Tomas Perez (injury).
