Estoril vs Portimonense Betting Tips: Estoril to Win
Sitting in the relegation playoff spot and trailing just one point behind Portimonense, who are hovering just above the safety line, the host Estoril has a golden opportunity to elevate themselves out of threatened positions if they produce a winning display.
The Canarinhos will look to wield their home turf as their main weapon in the battle to climb out of the drop zone, given that this season nearly all their top-flight victories have come in front of their home crowd, notching up five out of six triumphs, highlighted by the commanding 3-1 takedown of Porto in the League Cup back in December.
Eyeing an escape from the relegation threat and aiming to clinch a solid 15th rank with a triumph this Friday, regardless of the outcome of other matches, the Yellow-Blues will bank on the inspiration provided by their attacking trio, who have hammered the opponent's net 22 times on home ground this season - averaging just under two goals per game.
Next up in line for the Cascais-based side is a not-so-demanding ecounter against Portimonense, a squad navigating through rougher waters than their struggling Friday counterpart, as a crushing 0-3 hammering by Porto last time out has stretched their winless drought to six league fixtures, scraping together a slim two points along the way.
A sudden dip in form has seen them slide to the very door of the relegation zone, holding just a one-point advantage over the bottom three, forcing the Alvinegros to seek an urgent response, but that might not be achievable at this moment, considering they've been hit by a goal drought in recent weeks, going scoreless in four of their last five contests.
Besides losing their scoring touch, the club from Portimao also suffers on the defensive end, and these issues are particularly pronounced during their away matches, where they have shockingly been breached 32 times in their opening 12 Primeira Liga visits this term, with six out of seven games on foreign soil resulting in defeat.
With so much at stake in Friday's showdown at the Estadio Antonio Coimbra da Mota, we are banking on the Yellow-Blues to find their scoring boots and secure the much-needed three points against the opposition whose defense resembles a block of Swiss cheese, leaking 3+ goals in four out of their last six away fixtures.

Estoril team news
With Erick Cabaco sidelined until the end of the season due to a serious knee injury, the Olimpiakos loanee Jordan Holsgrove is recovering from a muscle issue sustained at the end of January, his return date still shrouded in mystery.
A regular defender during the first part of the campaign, Pedro Alvaro has struggled with some discomfort in recent weeks, but the good news is that he's back on the field, albeit spending last week's 1-3 loss to Benfica on the bench.

Portimonense team news
Following a two-month spell on the sidelines due to injury, Paulo Estrela Moreira Alves has rejoined his squad, but last weekend's thrashing of a 0-3 loss against Porto saw him as a mere spectator from the bench, awaiting a potential late cameo in Friday's matchup.
After serving a one-game ban due to a red card in the scoreless stalemate of 0-0 against Vizela, center-back Pedrao is back to fortify his team's backline in a pivotal relegation battle.
