Estoril perform at a high level so far being 1st in the table. Sporting Covilhã can look both up and down from their 11th position.
- Estoril has the most scored goals (27) in Segunda Liga

Estoril form and stats
Estoril, who have the most scored goals (27) in Segunda Liga, are steadily winning Segunda Liga games and points here at Estádio António Coimbra da Mota. 4 wins, 3 draws and 0 defeats is the summary from 7 games. Estoril haven’t lost a league-game in 13 attempts regardless of arena, a great achievement. Their last loss was the fixture versus Académica, 120 days ago.
Estoril enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Rio Ave's place. The match ended 2-1 with André Vidigal and A. Yakubu scoring. A strong away win before that one, visiting Chaves and winning 2-0.
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 seven games) they have won five times, drawn two and lost zero.
With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (16 in 7 games), Estoril's attacking play is working. Estoril have conceded 8 in these home matches.
Sporting Covilhã form and stats
There's been little loot from Sporting Covilhã's travels as they have only collected 8 points from 8 away games in the Segunda Liga. Sporting Covilhã only have 2 wins to counter their 4 defeats and 2 draws.
Covilhã's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Benfica II that finished 1-1. Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Leixões that ended 0-0.
As mentioned above, Covilhã drew the match against Benfica II. Manager N. Goncalves Rocha brought on Areias to rescue the draw from a losing position and it worked.
We have checked recent matches where Sporting Covilhã have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those nine games were one victory, five draws and three defeats.
The attacking power of Sporting Covilhã when travelling is not overwhelming with 5 goals scored from 8 league matches away. It's not easy to score on Sporting Covilhã as they have only conceded 7 goals from these away games.
