Estoril Preview – Can Estoril build on recent win?
A much-needed 1-0 home win against Academica last time out in the Portuguese Liga Pro put an end to a worrying 5-match losing streak for Estoril as Monday night’s hosts have really struggled for form in the past few weeks.
A string of defeats to Mafra, Nacional, Penafiel, Feirense and Sporting Covilha had seen Estoril drop down the Liga Pro table but the win against Academica has lifted them back up into 8th place, and they’ll no doubt be keen to build upon this result here this evening against Benfica B.
An overall home record of 5-1-3 15/10 has been dented in recent times though as recent results have produced mixed returns having won against Academico Viseu and Academica but also losses to Nacional and Feirense.
However, despite home advantage here, Estoril have lost all three of the previous meetings against Benfica B.
Benfica B Preview – Can Benfica bounce back?
The visitors were handed a 1-0 defeat away from home at Porto B last time out in the Portuguese second tier which ended a promising 7-match sequence without defeat for Benfica’s second string side.
Benfica B had previously registered wins against Farense and Casa Pia in 3-0 and 4-0 wins respectively along with picking up valuable points in draws with Penafiel, Mafra, Feirense, Varzim and Sporting Covilha which has helped Benfica B keep the relegation zone firmly at arms length.
Although Benfica B’s away record reads an underwhelming 1-3-5 8/14 to date, the visitors have actually lost just 1 of their last 5 matches on their travels, so they’ve made themselves hard to beat on the road in recent times.
Benfica B also possess the upper hand in previous meetings against Estoril too so they’ll be hopeful they can get something from this clash.
