- FC Porto have won 5 consecutive matches in all current competitions, including a 2-0 home win over FC Arouca and a 3-0 away win at Académico Viseu.
- Moreirense arrive at the Estadio do Dragao in mixed form, taking 1 win, 2 draws and 2 defeats from their last 5 in all current competitions.
- Porto have won four of the last five head-to-head meetings in the Primeira Liga, with Moreirense winning the other.
Porto the right price at 1/5 to take all the points
FC Porto are 1/5 to defeat Moreirense at Estadio do Dragao on Friday and that's not a bad price if we take just the head-to-head record between the clubs into account. However, the hosts have taken 12 points from 4 in the Primeira Liga 2026/2027 while Moreirense have just 4 points from 3 games, and sit 10th in the table.
The visitors have performed well against the teams they should have beaten, but fallen apart against those that have pushed them and that is a bad formula for success. A 1-0 away win at Casa Pia was followed by a 4-0 defeat to FC Arouca on the road, and a 2-2 home draw with SC Braga. So Porto, who have won two from two at home in this season's Primeira Liga, scoring four goals and maintaining complete control at the Dragao, are a cut above Moreirense.
Vasco Botelho da Costa has got his players set up in a structured 4-3-4 system that is patient in build-up but can play at pace when the opposition press allows space. Porto will try to get at Moreirense in possession and with their intense pressing style should get plenty of opportunities on Friday.
Francesco Farioli's team play a sharp 4-3-3 system with great control of the ball, intense pressing and the ability to play with pace when the press lands on the opposition.
Moreirense's away record is mixed and they may concede 3-4 goals
Moreirense are 1-1 on the road in the Primeira Liga 2026/2027, and have already shipped four goals, while Porto have won both of their home games this season, scoring four.
Gabriel Veiga is the danger man here and leading the Primeira Liga 2026/2027 scoring chart for Porto with three goals in four games for Porto, while Moreirense's playmaker, Alexandre Duville-Parsemain, is a creative force, but has only one assist in three league games.
Joao Veloso is their main finishing threat in the Primeira Liga 2026/2027, with one goal in three games, so Porto should have enough about them to keep Moreirense at bay.
