Estoril form and stats

1 victory, 3 draws and 1 defeat. That’s what Estoril have to build on here at Estádio António Coimbra da Mota in the Primeira Liga. Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.

It's back home for Estoril, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating FC Serpa away with the result 5-0. André, Chiquinho, Francisco Geraldes and L. Acevedo (2) found the net in that victory. As indicated by the result mentioned above, Estoril played a great game against FC Serpa and beat them comfortably. Expectations are high for this one.

Before that, Estoril played out a Primeira Liga draw 1-1 when visiting Vizela.

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 ten games) they have won seven times, drawn two and lost one.

Estoril are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 5 goals in 5 games. On the other hand, Estoril have conceded 5 goals.

Santa Clara form and stats

Playing away, Santa Clara, who have the most conceded goals (23) in Primeira Liga, have won 0 games, drawn 1 and suffered 4 defeats in the Primeira Liga this season. Three has not been a lucky number for Santa Clara as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Vizela match.

Two away games in a row for Santa Clara, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-6 versus Sporting Braga in the Taça De Portugal. As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Sporting Braga was particularly ugly (0-6). The humiliation is still top of mind.

A loss against Porto was the result prior to that, in a Primeira Liga home game.

We have checked recent matches where Santa Clara have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those three games were one victory, one draw and one defeat.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Santa as they have only managed to score 3 times from 5 away games in the league. The Santa manager N. Carvalho Campos has some worries about the defense as 10 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

Previous ten meetings involving these sides: Estoril won two, Santa Clara were winners in three and we saw five draws. three games with over 2,5 goals, seven matches with less than 2,5 goals.
