On Monday night, Primeira Liga leaders Porto travel to bottom of the table Estoril, as the visitors look to stay at the top of the table.
Estoril are experiencing a poor campaign. The home side are bottom of the pile in the Portuguese top-flight table. A run of one win in their last 16 games in the league has majorly contributed to their current position in the table.
Last time out, Estoril suffered a defeat against fellow strugglers Feirense on home soil. The defeat means that the home side have now lost 13 of their last 16 games in the Primeira Liga.
Estoril also have a poor recent home record in the Portuguese top-flight, losing five of their last seven games on home soil, while winning just once. Scoring goals in their home games in the league has been a big problem of late, as they have failed to score in six of their last seven games.
Porto currently top the Portuguese top-flight table. The visitors could extend their lead at top of the table to five points on second-place Benfica with a victory in this clash.
The visitors are now unbeaten in 17 games in the Portuguese top-flight, recording victories in their last four league outings. A key to Sergio Conceicao’s side’s recent results has been their firepower, as they have scored two or more goals in their last four league outings.
Porto have a good recent away record in the league, as the leaders are unbeaten in eight games, having recorded six wins in the process. The visitors have also conceded just three goals in those eight unbeaten away games.
Porto have won the last six meetings against Estoril. In fact, the home side have won just one of the last 13 meetings against the visitors in all competitions.
Unsurprisingly considering the teams contrasting positions in the league, Forebet predicts that Porto will come away from this clash with maximum points.
