The Vilafranquense goalkeeper Adilson Aguero dos Santos is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 270 minutes without conceding a goal in the Segunda Liga.

A good away victory last time out for Vilafranquense, who won 1-0 against Mafra (placed 2nd). In the match before that, Vilafranquense hosted Académica and drew the game 0-0.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Vilafranquense as they have a new game in only three days, a Taça De Portugal match thankfully also at home. Sanjoanense are visiting.

Estoril form and stats

4-0-1 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Estoril, who have the the best goal difference (+11) in Segunda Liga, in their Segunda Liga matches away. Estoril has been amazing away for a time now, winning four in a row on their travels. The last time they went home with a point loss was against Académica.

Estoril delivered a 2-2 draw playing at home against Vizela (placed 11th) in their previous match; a Segunda Liga game. That result followed a home victory 5-1 versus Cova Piedade.

Drawing 2-2 against Vizela after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager B. Nogueira Pinheiro needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result.

After this away game Estoril return home for a Taça De Portugal game against Lusitano GC Evora. That game is only three sleeps after this.
