Moreirense vs Santa Clara Prediction: Odds, Stats, and Expert Tips

Welcome to our Moreirense vs Santa Clara prediction for the Liga Portugal Betclic round 19 fixture, kicking off at 15:30 GMT on January 24, 2026. If you’re hunting for the latest sports betting insights, betting odds, and a little tactical flavor, you’re in the right place. Let’s break down what makes this match a must-watch for football fans and punters alike.

Background: Form, Standings, and Head to Head

This season, Moreirense have quietly become one of the Primeira Liga’s most consistent sides. Sitting 6th with 27 points from 17 matches, they’ve racked up 8 wins, 3 draws, and 6 losses. Santa Clara, meanwhile, are battling in 14th place, collecting 17 points with a record of 4 wins, 5 draws, and 8 losses. The gap in the table is clear, but as any seasoned football fan knows, league position isn’t everything—especially when these two meet.

  • Recent form: Moreirense have two wins, three draws, and just one loss in their last six. Santa Clara are struggling a bit more, with one win, three draws, and two losses over the same span.
  • Head to head: Historically, these teams are evenly matched. Moreirense have 7 wins, Santa Clara 5, and there have been 7 draws. Their last meeting? A narrow 1-0 win for Moreirense earlier this season.
  • Interesting fact: Moreirense have scored 6 goals in their last 5 matches, while Santa Clara have netted 5 in the same period—but Santa Clara haven’t won in their last five attempts.

Tactics, Key Players, and Team News

Moreirense are known for their balanced 4-3-3 setup, focusing on possession and quick transitions. Their midfield is the engine room, with fullbacks pushing high to stretch play. Guilherme Schettine leads their scoring charts with 9 goals, while Alan has chipped in with 4 assists and 2 goals. Yan Maranhão is another name to watch, especially when the game gets cagey.

  • Strengths: Moreirense are clinical when chances come, and their keeper André Ferreira is second in the league for saves (3.8 per match).
  • Weakness: They’ve conceded the most penalties in the league (7)—so keep an eye on those nervy moments in the box.

Santa Clara, on the other hand, rely on their aerial prowess and a more direct approach. Elias Manoel is their main goal threat, with Gabriel Silva firing the most shots on target. Their recent lack of wins is partly down to injuries: Pedro Pacheco remains sidelined with a long-term knee injury, and Matheus Nunes is also out. Moreirense aren’t at full strength either, missing Lawrence Ofori and Vasco Sousa.

  • Squad value: Santa Clara’s squad is valued at €38.53m, compared to Moreirense’s €28.70m—though as we’ve seen, money doesn’t always buy points.

Moreirense vs Santa Clara Prediction: Odds, Tips, and Final Score

Now, let’s get into the numbers and what our AI system is whispering about this match. The current betting odds are tight: Moreirense to win at 3.055, a draw at 3.055, and Santa Clara to win at 2.88. That tells us the bookies see this as a toss-up—no clear favorite, and plenty of value for punters.

  1. Our best tip: Under 2.5 goals (odds 1.44, confidence 5.8/10). Both teams have been involved in low-scoring games lately, and their last head to head ended 1-0. Expect a tactical battle, not a goal fest.
  2. 1x2 market: Our AI leans towards a home win (Moreirense) with a trust level of 3.7. The odds of 3.055 are tempting, especially considering Moreirense’s recent shock win over Sporting CP (2-1 at odds of 8.7!).
  3. Final score prediction: 1-0 to Moreirense. Our system expects a goalless first half, with the home side edging it after the break.

Here’s what the stats suggest:

  • Moreirense are projected to control 56% of possession, with 10 shots (4 on target).
  • Santa Clara will likely have 44% possession, 13 shots (3 on target).
  • Expect 7 corners in total, and a disciplined match with just 2 yellow cards per team.

If you’re looking for a single bet, under 2.5 goals is the safest play. For those feeling adventurous, a home win at 3.055 offers solid value, especially given Moreirense’s recent form and their knack for grinding out results at home. The Moreirense vs Santa Clara prediction leans towards a tight, tactical affair—so maybe don’t expect fireworks, but do expect a fascinating chess match.

Final Thoughts

In sports betting, sometimes the best value is in the details: recent form, head to head history, and those little tactical wrinkles. For this Moreirense vs Santa Clara prediction, all signs point to a low-scoring, hard-fought contest with the home side just edging it. Good luck with your bets, and enjoy the football!
