Another Draw Expected in Group H Between Estoril Praia and Torreense

GD Estoril vs União Torreense - 06/12/2022

It's matchday four in the Taca da Liga as Estoril Praia meet with Torreense at the Stadium António Coimbra da Mota with the Primeira Liga side struggling tremendously Group H already after two games.

As of now, Estoril Praia are sitting with no wins from the first two games in Group H. They managed to lose last time Academico de Viseu FC last week, as Alejandro Marques scored twice in the first half to give Estoril Praia a 2-1 lead.

Bamidele Yusuf was sent off that day too, and he is now set to miss this game. It leaves them in fourth out of the five teams in Group H.

The club also drew with Tondela 0-0 in the first outing in the Taca da Liga, having only three shots on target in the game. Now, however, this is their first game on home soil in the competition and it could be the chance to rocket up the table.

Estoril Praia are 12th in Primeira Liga and it has been a tough season for them. Their 14 goals scored from 13 games is one of the worst records in the top 12, as only Casa Pia and Chaves have netted fewer.

The club has also let in 18 goals so far in the league, but they sit seven points above the relegation zone and in a comfortable position with four wins, four draws and five losses.

Torreense are unbeaten in their first Taca da Liga games, drawing with Academico and Torreense in the first two outings, before a 1-0 win over Famalicao. Joao Vieira scored the game's only goal against Famalicao, netting from the penalty spot.

Their league form is looking very different, however, as they are 15th in LigaPro. Quite stunningly, they have lost nine games in the league already and scored just seven goals from 13 games - this is both the most goals lost in the league and the fewest goals scored too.

At the same time, the club have only won three games and no doubt they are set to fight relegation for most of the season unless their form changes.

Forebet predicts a draw here. The two clubs may be at entirely different areas of the Portuguese football pyramid, but the form in the Taca da Liga suggests otherwise, and Forebet predicts a draw and for the game to see under 2.5 goals.

This will mean the Primeira Liga side could be heading out of Group H.
