Ferreira vs Estoril Prediction: Ferreira can't "start the engine", Estoril caught the rhythm

In order to end the streak of five defeats in the league, Ferreira welcomes Estoril tonight at the Estadio Capital do Movel. The host has a terrible start to the season with 2 defeats and they haven’t scored a goal yet. The visitors come into the game in much better shape with 1 win, 1 draw, and 1 loss this season and will be aiming to maintain their form. In the past several matches Ferreira haven’t shown defensive steel, they have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 6 of their previous 6 clashes.

Ferreira must to start scoring goals and winning some points at least at home if they want to remain in the league at the end of the season. The problem is not only in the offensive part of the team, but there are many problems in the defense and the team easily conceded goals in the previous matches. Perhaps this is the moment for them to improve the game and to earn first points of the season at home ground.

The visitors have played 3 games so far and won 4 points. They won at home against Famalicao and played draw against Rio Ave in the last round and they only lost when they were playing on away against Guimaraes. It can be expected from Estoril to struggle when playing away from home, but Ferreira is not some unconquerable place, so visitors will look for points at this stadium.

If we take a look at their h2h stats we will see that these teams are very equal, no matter of the current form. In the last 6 matches Estoril won 2 and 4 matches ended draw. It’s interesting that the matches between Ferreira and Estoril are always tight and with a lot of tension so often there are red cards shown. In this duel there isn’t clear favorite and a draw is the most likely outcome.
