A rematch so fresh it hasn't even started yet — these two locked horns just three weeks ago and couldn't break the deadlock. Now they're back, and preseason form suggests we might see more attacking intent this time around. 🔥

Moreirense come in hot off a 3-2 win over Estrela but stumbled at Tondela, while AVS pulled off an eyebrow-raising 3-1 upset over FC Porto sandwiched between draws. Neither team has found consistency, but AVS's headline moment is hard to ignore.

Key storylines:

• Y. Maranhão and N. John will need to unlock an AVS defense that's been tightish so far
• T. Akinsola and A. Green have looked sharp for AVS and could exploit Moreirense down the wings
• Both teams know each other well after the 0-0; expect fewer cagey vibes, more directness this time

Expected lineups:

• Moreirense: A. Ferreira, Kiko, G. Batista, Maracás, L. Santos, R. Alonso, M. Stjepanović, K. Bondoso, N. John, A. Parsemain, Y. Maranhão
• AVS - Futebol SAD: P. Trigueira, D. Rivas, C. Castro, A. Santos, Mateus Pivô, Á. Algobia, Roni, T. Galletto, A. Green, Tomané, T. Akinsola

Prediction:

1-1 — too evenly matched and familiar to produce a winner, but friendlies breed more chances this time around.
