Moreirense :
Moreirense make a very difficult season by. The Conegos knew this season winning only five games, leaving the relegation worries this season are real.

On January 26 was Moreirense 3-1 too strong for Benfica, which nota bene appeared with the strongest team. This match will also be an important motivation for Sunday’s game.
