Estoril vs AVS Prediction & Expert Tips

Estoril vs AVS Preview

Estoril would have hoped to begin the new season in a clean sheet but it remains blurred after they missed out on winning in the Liga Portugal once again. The hosts have staged a entertaining 2-2 draw with Tondela in their last outing and have not won a match in all competitions since (3D, 5L). Several calls have now been taken to the Scottish manager Ian Cathro to find a swift solution to the problems that are plaguing his team back at the international break.

Estoril have only collected a single win in its last six games in the league, with two draws and three losses respectively. With two of their three league matches thus far in the season already being drawn, the hosts are in much need of a win following successive stalemates. Their supporters in the Estadio Antonio Coimbra da Mota are going to be looking forward to no less than three of the points this weekend.

Likewise, AVS have not won the league this season. Their last, and also disappointing, performance was a 1-0 loss to Famalicao, even though the latter ended up playing with ten men. That performance floated AVS on their most significant weaknesses, between wobbly defensive actions and unsure offensive actions, as fans wondered why they were not cutting edge.

Similar to Estoril, AVS also are in a bad streak, as the team has not won a single match in eight consecutive games and has scored two and lost six. A mere survivor at the end of last season courtesy of a playoff victory over Vizela, it is unclear whether they have a lot of quality to last a season beyond this season in the Portuguese top flight.

Estoril vs AVS Prediction

Although both teams are winless so far this season, Estoril are still favourites here. They’ve picked up two points compared to AVS’s single point despite playing one game less, and history also favours them as the hosts are unbeaten in their two previous meetings, recording one win and one draw.

We expect both sides to exploit each other’s defensive weaknesses as they chase their first victory. The stats back this up, as Estoril have scored and conceded in all three of their league games so far, while AVS remain without a single clean sheet in four matches this term.

A high-scoring result of over 2.5 goals is highly probable. Estoril’s three league games have averaged 2.75 goals per match, while AVS’s fixtures have been even more open, averaging 3.7 goals per game. With both defences underperforming, another lively clash should be on the cards.
