Team News

Estoril
Famalicao
  • Hélder Costa is now fully fit and will boost Estoril' options out wide.
  • Pedro Álvaro is back available after serving a match ban and will be in competition with Bacher at the heart of the defense.
  • Sorriso remains as the only injury concern for the visitors.
  • Zlobin, Rafa Soares, Topic and Aranda should get their Starting XI spots back.

Prediction

  • Despite having a technically competent team, Estoril haven't been able to materialise and that's evident in the last two games, where they've failed to score. The International Break has come at a good time, as this 3-week period might have helped to rectify things on this regard.
  • Famalicão have also had some trouble hiting the back of the net lately, something that even cost them continuity in the Portuguese Cup - they lost 1-0 to Santa Clara. Armando Evangelista's men will try to turn this around by playing away from home, where they seem to feel comfortable - just one defeat in 6 games across all competitions... and 10 goals scored.
  • The last meeting between the two teams was won by Estoril, but that was the Canarinhos' only victory in their last four matches against Famalicão. It's a trend that could continue, especially given Famalicão's propensity to play better away from home.
