Estoril are staying put; they can neither be promoted or relegated this season and are fighting only for positions. Marítimo are struggling to avoid relegation.

Estoril form and stats

The overall Liga Portugal results at home this season for Estoril are 6-2-8 (wins-draws-losses). When Estoril hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Paços de Ferreira, Santa Clara, Gil Vicente, Estoril and Portimonense), they have won 2 of 4 matches! The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at Estádio António Coimbra da Mota.

The home team returns to Estádio António Coimbra da Mota after drawing with Casa Pia (placed 9th) on their last time out; the game ended 2-2. The draw was a tad lucky as the match had an xG (expected goals) of 3.83 - 1.14. The Estoril goalkeeper Silva was crucial in the match against Casa Pia last time out, making seven saves.

Ahead of that match, Estoril won a home game hosting Arouca (2-0).

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Estoril have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 12 games) they have won 4 times, drawn 5 and lost 3.

It should be noted that a peek at the 20 most recent league matches reveals that 15 of them qualified as a both teams to score: NO result (only one or none of the teams scored).

Estoril are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 17 goals in 16 games. On the other hand, Estoril have conceded 23 goals. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.

Marítimo form and stats

There's been little loot from Marítimo's travels as they have only collected 5 points from 16 away games in the Liga Portugal. Marítimo only have 1 win to counter their 13 defeats and 2 draws. The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Marítimo have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone ten consecutive matches without winning on the road.

Marítimo won their last game, 1-0 versus Vizela played at home. Those three points felt sweet as this side had gone four league games without victory. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager Gomes when Winck scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 80th minute. Goalkeeper Carné got the top player rating of the team with 8.01/10. Carné topped it up with a clean sheet.

Preceding that game, the 1-2 loss visiting Sporting CP's place.
