Estrela Amadora form and stats

Estrela Amadora have played 7 Segunda Liga games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-4-0 (wins-draws-losses).

Nothing to worry about in defence for Estrela Amadora, as their goalkeeper Bruno Brigido de Oliveira has completely shut out the opponents for 214 minutes in the Segunda Liga.

An away draw last time out for Estrela Amadora, facing Moreirense in a game that ended 0-0. A painful moment in the game against Moreirense was the missed penalty kick from Silva in the 6th minute. A goal there would obviously have changed the match and probably the outcome.

A 1-1 result against Penafiel before that one, played at home in the League Cup.

Some stats: A review of the 14 latest league games reveals that 11 of them had goals from both teams.

Estrela has scored 10 league goals at home this season, in 7 matches.

Trofense form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Trofense so far with only 5 points returning home. The records show 1-2-4 (win-draw-lose). It's looking increasingly bleak for Trofense who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Tondela was the last time a defeat was avoided.

Trofense failed to get anything from their last game, a home match vs Torreense (placed 15th) that ended with defeat 0-1.

A loss, in the League Cup away at Casa Pia, before that.

The attacking power of Trofense when travelling is not overwhelming with 4 goals scored from 7 league matches away. Trofense struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 11 goals conceded from these games. Trofense has visited these top teams two times, and 2 of 2 has ended with 2 goals or more!

Head 2 Head

Estrela Amadora have pulled off a sequence of 4 consecutive matches without defeat (2-2-0) when facing Trofense.
