FC Porto v Estoril

Porto vs Estoril Preview

Third placed Porto know they have a golden opportunity to at least draw level on points at the top of the Portuguese top flight table with the two leading clubs, Sporting lisbon and Benfica, as they prepare for this upcoming visit from Estoril who find themselves sitting bottom of the Primeira Liga table having managed to register just one league win to date this term.

Porto have been handed just the one defeat so far in this Portuguese top flight campaign which came in the shape of a narrow 1-0 defeat away from home at Benfica but having also collected no fewer than seven wins within their opening nine games of this new Primeira Liga season, Porto will be confident that they can pick up a third league win on the trot on Friday.

The hosts had previously registered back-to-back wins against Portimonense and Vizela where they also kept clean sheets in the 1-0 and 2-0 wins respectively and Sergio Conceicao's side will be seeking to make it three shut-outs on the trot against Estoril.

Porto have won three of their four home games to date which includes previous wins this term against Farense and Gil Vicente.

Estoril find themselves sitting bottom of the Portuguese top flight table and having lost six out of their last seven league matches, the visitors look to have a mountain to climb here on Friday night against a high-flying and confident Porto outfit at the Estádio Do Dragão.

Although the visitors picked up a point with a 2-2 draw at home with fellow Primeira Liga strugglers, Vizela, Estoril have slipped to losses to Estrela, Boavista, Gil Vicente, Vitoria Guimaraes, Benfica and Portimonense which have overshadowed their singular success so far this season which came in the form of a 2-0 home win against Rio Ave.

The bigger picture shows Estoril have managed to capture just five wins from their previous 24 matches in the domestic top flight and having slipped to a total of 17 defeats within this period as well, the odds look to be firmly stacked against Vasco Seabra's side here on Friday night.

Porto v Estoril Verdict

Porto have produced a solid start to this new Primeira Liga campaign and the hosts will be highly motivated in picking up all three points when they entertain lowly Estoril at their Estádio Do Dragão with the hosts also looking to rack up a third clean sheet on the trot as well.

In addition, Porto have collected no fewer than 10 wins from their previous 11 meetings against Estoril so the prospects of a home win here look extremely promising as Porto eye off all three points in a bid to sit joint-top of the table.
