Estoril form and stats

The away performances of Estoril, who have the most scored goals (25) in Segunda Liga, have been very solid so far with 6 wins, 0 draws and 1 defeat in the Segunda Liga. The question is whether this happy travelling can continue. Things are running smoothly for Estoril who hasn't tasted defeat in their last twelve matches, regardless of venue and tournament. Their last defeat was against Academica. Long winning streaks away are a rare occurrence in football, which only makes Estoril's record of six away victories in a row even more impressive. They last lost points away in the Academica game.

Estoril are travelling after their nice 3-1 home win in the Segunda Liga against Penafiel (placed 5th). Preceding that game was the away victory against Casa Pia with the score of 2-0.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Estoril playing away and similar expectations, we found ten relevant matches. Results were one Estoril win, three draws and six defeats.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The Taça De Portugal trip to Rio Ave.
