Famalicao Prediction
Famalicao sit in second place and three points behind Segunda Liga leaders Pacos de Ferreira as they prepare for the visit of third placed Estoril who are four points behind the hosts, but that could all change after this crucial encounter.
Famalicao are unbeaten in their last eight league matches, a run that includes recent wins against Leixoes, Academica and Vitoria Guimaraes B, while the hosts still remain undefeated on home turf with a solid record of 5-2-0 11/3 under their belts so far this term.
Notable results gained on home turf in this campaign include a 2-0 win over Penafiel and holding Benfica B to a 0-0 draw, as well as keeping a total of 5 clean sheets in their 7 home matches so far this season.
Forwards Fabricio (8 goals) and Walterson (6 goals) are the danger men up front for Famalicao.
Key-Facts – Famalicao v Estoril
- Famalicao still remain undefeated on home turf
- Famalicao have kept a total of 5 clean sheets in their 7 home matches
- Estoril have scored the highest number of goals away from home in the Segunda Liga
Estoril Prediction
Estoril sit in third spot and four points behind their hosts, Famalicao, ahead of this important clash on Monday night, but this deficit could be reduced to just a single point if the visitors walk away with all three points at the Estádio Municipal 22 de Junho.
The visitors have suffered just one defeat from their last five matches overall which was a 1-0 loss at home to Penafiel, but recent wins against Sporting Covilha, Farense and Oliveirense have kept Estoril in the hunt for a top two finish and automatic promotion to the Primeira Liga.
In addition, an away record of 5-1-1 16/5 proves Estoril have meant business on their travels, scoring 4 past Cova Piedade and hitting Academica for 7 in a 7-2 win in early October. Needless to say, Estoril have scored the highest number of goals away from home in the Segunda Liga to date.
Forwards Roberto (6 goals), Lima and Dadasov (4 goals apiece) along with Boa Morte (3 goals) have shared the bulk of Estoril’s goals this season.
Betting Tips Verdict
Both teams are in solid form so I wouldn’t be surprised if this ends up a stalemate.
