On Monday night, struggling Estoril host Feirense in the Portuguese Primeira Liga, as the home side look to move out of the relegation zone.
Estoril are currently 17th in the Portuguese top-flight table. However, a victory in this clash could move the home side up to thirteenth in the table, above the visitors.
However, the team jointly coached by Ivo Vieira and Filipe Pedro are on a poor run of form. In fact, the home side have won just one of their last 13 league games. Their recent form has improved though, as they have drawn three of their last five league games, winning once and also suffering one defeat.
Last time out in the Portuguese top-flight the home side drew 2-2 at bottom team Vitoria Setubal. The game was Estoril’s third consecutive league game to produce over 2.5 goals.
The home side’s home record in the Primeira Liga is not great, as they have lost four of their last six games on home soil in the league. They have also failed to score in five of their last six home outings in the Portuguese top-flight. They did stop the rot last time out, though, winning 3-2 against Desportivo Aves.
Feirense are 13th in the Primeira Liga. However, they are by no means clear of the relegation zone. A recent run of six defeats in their last seven games in the Portuguese top-flight has seen them dragged towards the drop zone.
Their recent Primeira Liga games have been low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in seven of their last nine league outings.
The visitor’s recent away form has been a big part of the problem, as they have now lost their last five games on their travels in the Primeira Liga.
Forebet predicts that Estoril will record what could be a crucial victory and move out of the Primeira Liga relegation spots.
