Seeking to snap their three-game losing run and secure their first win since mid February, Moreirense take on Famalicao at the Estadio Municipal de Famalicao in round 29 of Portuguese Primeira Liga on Friday. Hugo Oliveira’s men, meanwhile, will head into the weekend looking to extend their perfect home record in 2026, having won each of their five home matches since the turn of the year.
Famalicao picked up another impressive result in their push for a top-four finish last Saturday, when they netted a 99th-minute equaliser to snatch a 2-2 draw against league leaders Porto at the Estadio do Dragao.
Oliveira’s side have now gone six straight matches without defeat, picking up four wins and two draws since February’s 1-0 loss against Sporting Lisbon, a run that has seen them cement themselves as genuine contenders for European qualification.
Famalicao have picked up 46 points from their 28 Primeira Liga matches so far to sit fifth in the league standings, just three points off fourth-placed Braga in the UEFA Europa Conference League qualifying spot.
In stark contrast, Moreirense’s free-fall in the league standings continued at the weekend when they fell to a 1-0 defeat against Braga in front of their home supporters.
Vasco Costa’s men have now lost three games on the spin and are without a win in their last six matches (2D 4L) since a 2-1 victory over Rio Ave on February 16.
This poor run of results has seen Moreirense drop to eighth place in the Primeira Liga table, level on 35 points with ninth-placed Vitoria de Guimaraes.
