Estoril form and stats

Estoril have collected 7 points from their Primeira Liga home games so far after 1-4-1. Three draws in a row here at Estádio António Coimbra da Mota for Estoril, who might be willing to risk more at some point in hope of a win.

Happy days for Estoril in their previous game, a Primeira Liga match away at Belenenses (placed 18th) that ended with a 1-0 victory. Midfield player Rosier Loreintz got a match rating of 7.84 in that game, the max score being 10. Loreintz hit two key passes and had 55 successful passes (of 61 total).

Heartbreak before that as Estoril lost 0-2 at Sporting Braga's place.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Estoril have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found eight matches with the results: Won two, drawn two and lost four.

The manager Nogueira Pinheiro will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Tondela in only four days.

The Estoril fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 7 in 6 matches. Estoril have conceded 7 in these home matches.

Famalicão form and stats

Famalicão have only collected 7 points from their away games in the Primeira Liga, after 2-1-4 (7 played). Recent form does not give Famalicão much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Estoril will be a tough nut to crack.

Famalicão failed to get anything from their last game, a Primeira Liga home match vs Benfica (placed 3rd) that ended with defeat 1-4. Attacker Ivo Rodrigues got a player rating of 7.6 in the game. "Man of the match" Rodrigues served one assist, hit two key passes and had 25 successful passes (of 31 total).

A 0-4 defeat away at Gil Vicente before that.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found twelve similar matches played by Famalicão in our archives, and the results are: eight wins for Famalicão, two draws and two defeats.

A new game in only four days for Famalicão, the Taça De Portugal home match versus Portimonense. Busy days.

Famalicão has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 12 goals from 7 games. The Famalicão manager Abreu Vieira has some worries about the defense as 15 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

Head-to-head totals (for the previous four meetings): Estoril won two games, zero matches ended in a draw and Famalicão have two wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: one / three
