Moreirense vs Nacional: Prediction and odds on the Match on 27 April 2025

Moreirense will settle scores with Nacional at the Estádio Dom Afonso Henriques on Sunday, 27 April 2025. Moreirense are unbeaten in 13 of their last 14 games against Nacional. Can they continue this run? Below, you will find the team news, possible starting lineup, head-to-head statistics, interesting facts, betting tips, and odds.

Moreirense: form and statistics

Moreirense suffered a 3-1 loss to Sporting in their last game, marking their second consecutive loss. They had earlier lost 2-0 to Rio Ave. Prior to these losses, they had won five straight games. The Green and whites have only lost three games in their last 21 games at home. The Men from Moreira de Cónegos are 10th on the table with 35 points in 30 games, scoring 35 goals and conceding 44. With only four games remaining in the season, they will still face off against FC Porto, Estoril, and AVS, but the good news is that they are free from relegation.

Moreirense: Lineup

Cristiano Bacci has two players out of this clash due to injuries. However, I expect Yan Maranhao to lead the attack of this team in a 4-2-3-1 formation with Maracás and Marcelo partnering in the centre back. Dinis Pinto and Godfried Frimpong will provide both defensive and attacking strength from the fullback areas.

🔖Moreirense possible starting lineup (4-2-3-1)

Goalkeeper – Kewin

Defenders – Dinis Pinto, Maracás, Marcelo, Godfried Frimpong

Midfielders – Sidnei Tavares, Lawrence Ofori, Benny, Alanzinho, Cedric Teguia

Attackers — Yan Maranhao

⛔️ Out: Hernani Infande (ligament injury), Guilherme Liberato (knee injury).

👤 Head coach: Cristiano Bacci

Nacional: form and statistics

Nacional suffered a 3-0 loss to Gil Vicente in their last game, extending their losing run to three in their last four games. On the road, they have managed two wins and a total of nine points in their last 15 games this season, which is the joint-worst away record. They sit 13th on the table with 32 points in 30 games, having scored 27 goals and conceded 41. With four games remaining in the season, they need one more win to be sure of safety ahead of next season. Nationalists will still face Guimaraes, Rio Ave, and FC Porto in their remaining games of the season. 

Nacional: Lineup

Tiago Margarido will continue with his favourite 4-2-3-1 formation in this clash, with Lucas França continuing his place as the first-choice goalkeeper, but Goalkeeper Rui Encarnacao, the second-choice goalie, won’t make this trip to the Estádio Dom Afonso Henriques after he was given a red card on the bench in their last game.

🔖 Nacional possible starting lineup (4-2-3-1)

Goalkeeper – Lucas França

Defenders – Gustavo Garcia, Ulisses, Zé Vítor, Jose Gomes, Djibril Soumaré

Midfielders – Daniel Penha, Fuki Yamada, Luís Esteves, Paulinho Bóia

Attacker — Joel Tagueu

⛔️ Out: Rui Encarnacao (red card), Miguel Baeza (muscle injury).

Moreirense vs Nacional match prediction 27 April 2025

Nacional are one of the worst-performing teams in the league at the momen,t particularly while playing on the road. They have managed just nine points in their 15 games on the road this season, and I can practically back any home team to defeat them. Moreover, the hosts have a strong record of playing against Nacional, having lost just once in their last 14 games. However, due to the low productive sense of the attack of both sides, I expect the hosts to keep a clean sheet and keep the scoreline pretty minimal.
