The Portimonense & Estoril head coaches P. Bento Brito and B. Nogueira Pinheiro are both anxious about and eagerly anticipating this very important fixture in the upper area of the Primeira Liga standings.

Insights:
  • Portimonense have the fewest points from losing position (0) in Primeira Liga
  • Estoril have not yet lost a game away.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Portimonense form and stats

The story so far in the Primeira Liga for Portimonense, who have the fewest scored goals (2) at home in Primeira Liga, at their home stadium (Estádio Municipal de Portimão) is 1 win, 1 draw and 2 defeats.

Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Samuel Portugal Lima not having conceded a league goal in 250 minutes.

Portimonense shared the glory with UD Oliveirense (after extra-time, 4-5 on penalties) in their last match, an away game that ended all square 3-3. A goal frenzy last time out for Portimonense, with a total of 6 goals in the match against UD Oliveirense (after extra-time, 4-5 on penalties). Fun stuff to watch!

Before that match, a Primeira Liga win away at Benfica.

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 Portimonense have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 14 matches with the results: Won six, drawn six and lost two.

Portimonense have scored 2 goals here in 4 league matches, a depressing statistic. From these home matches, Portimonense have conceded only 3 goals.

Estoril form and stats

3 wins, 1 draw and 0 losses. That’s the product of Estoril playing as the away team in the Primeira Liga this season.

Two travels in a row for Estoril, whose manager B. Nogueira Pinheiro could celebrate last time after the Taça De Portugal win against Felgueiras 1932.

A draw for Estoril before that, at their own venue hosting Gil Vicente (2-2).

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 15 similar matches played by Estoril in our archives, and the results are: five wins for Estoril, three draws and seven defeats.

Estoril have scored more than twice on average per away game (in the league), an impressive attacking display. They have 8 goals from 4 away matches. It's not easy to score on Estoril as they have only conceded 3 goals from these away games.
