There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a League Cup match only four days ago. That game was an away game at Sporting Braga, so at least Estoril are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Estoril form and stats

The story so far in the Segunda Liga for Estoril, who have the most clean sheets (7) in Segunda Liga, at their home stadium (Estádio António Coimbra da Mota) is 3 wins, 2 draws and 0 defeats.

Estoril lost their last game at Sporting Braga after a 1-3 scoreline. Previous to that game, a Taça De Portugal home match hosting Boavista in a game that was won 2-1.

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Estoril matches with similar probabilities have ended with two wins, one draw and one defeat (from four games).

With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (12 in 5 games), Estoril's attacking play is working. On the other hand, Estoril have conceded 6 goals.

Porto II form and stats

1-1-3 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Porto II, who have the most conceded goals (21) in Segunda Liga, in their Segunda Liga matches away.

Porto failed to get anything from their last game, a Segunda Liga home match vs Academica (placed 2nd) that ended with defeat 1-2. Ahead of that match was the victory versus Arouca at their stadium, the result 3-2.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Porto playing away, we found four games. Results were zero away wins, zero draws and four home wins.

Porto II are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 6 away goals from 5 games (in the league). The Porto manager R. Soares de Barros has some worries about the defense as 11 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last four meetings: two - one - one (Estoril wins - draws - Porto II wins). As for goals, two matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), two had two or less.
