Estoril Preview – Can the Canaries upset Sporting?
Nelson Verissimo’s Estoril have made a good start to their 2022-23 league season, picking up seven points so far. They kicked off the season with a 2-0 home win over Famalicao but were beaten at Vitoria Guimaraes in game two.
Estoril have bounced back from that loss by taking four points from two games. After an entertaining 2-2 home draw with Rio Ave, the Canaries secured a superb 3-0 win at Pacos Ferreira last Friday.

However, Lisbon lost the next two, with champions Porto easing to a 3-0 victory at the Estadio do Dragao. Chaves then picked up a surprise 2-0 win at the Estadio Jose Alvalade last weekend.
