On Saturday night, Estoril and Pacos Ferreira go head-to-head at the Estadio Antonio Coimbra da Mota in the first round of the Taca da Liga.
The home team goes into this clash on the back of a decent run of form, as they are unbeaten in their previous five matches in all competitions, including two friendly matches against Belenenses and Sheffield United.
A goalless draw in the latter also ended a run of prolific games for Estoril, as they had scored at least two goals in their previous four games.
However, Estoril has a poor recent record in the Taca da Liga, as they are winless in five games in the competition. That run includes failing to score in three of those five matches.
They are also winless in their last three home matches in the Taca da Liga, having picked up just one draw and suffered two defeats.
The visitors have a poor recent record, as they have won just one of their previous five games in all competitions, having suffered three defeats in the run.
Their recent matches have been relatively high-scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in four of the last six games.
Like their hosts, Pacos Ferreira has a poor recent record in the Taca da Liga, failing to win any of their last eight matches in the competition.
Their games have also been relatively low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in their previous four outings in the competition.
Pacos Ferreira has been poor travellers in the Tacos de Liga, as they have failed to win any of their last four matches in the competition.
Forebet predicts that this will be a tight encounter, ending in a low-scoring draw.
