Estoril form and stats

Estoril's results here at Estádio António Coimbra da Mota in the Liga Portugal have been very modest with 3 victories, 2 draws and 6 defeats. It's trouble wherever Estoril are playing these days as they have suffered five straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways.

Estoril faced defeat in their previous match, away at Porto (2-3). The forward Gouveia outdid all others in that match and got a match rating of 8.12 out of 10. Gouveia scored one goal, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 3 of 3 times.

Preceding that match was a defeat to Vizela (0-3).

This is expected to be a close game, with Estoril perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Estoril as a small favourite), we find 8 games. Estoril has won 3 of these, drawn 3 and lost 2.

Estoril have conceded 20 from these games.

Chaves form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Liga Portugal travels is 4 wins, 3 draws and 5 defeats.

Chaves had fun at their own home (Estádio António Coimbra da Mota) last time out, beating Portimonense 2-0. Abass and Vieira scored. That win felt sweet as this side had gone four league rounds without victory. The attacker Vieira got a match rating of 7.7 in that game. Vieira scored one goal, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times.

A 1-3 loss hosting Porto before that.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Chaves playing away and similar expectations, we found 5 relevant matches. Results were 2 Chaves wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Chaves as they have only managed to score 10 times from 12 away games in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. As opposed to that, Chaves have seen the ball go into their own net 16 times on the road.
