With Benfica sitting a clear 14 places above them in the table, Estrela Amadora won't feel totally dejected with their 2-0 away defeat by them last time out.  They achieved 32% possession in that match and had 8 strikes at goal, with 2 hitting the target, up against Benfica's tally of 30 efforts at goal, 9 of which were on target.  

Their boss Sérgio Vieira is sure to be taking a close look at his defence, who have given away 12 goals over the last 6 matches and yet amazingly still managed to collect some valuable points during this poor defensive spell due to their 8 goals scored.  When playing at home, they have failed to score in their last 2 games and kept only 2 clean sheets in their last 6 games.  

With 4 defeats and just 1 victory in their last 6 league matches, they have had a poor run and will need to turn that around if they want to start climbing the table.

Estoril will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 2-0 win in their home outing against Rio Ave.  They came away from that fixture with a 39% share of the possession and clocked up 7 attempts on goal with 4 on target, in comparison to Rio Ave, who managed 10 attempts on goal, 2 of which were on target.  

While they have been strong in attack with 12 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 8 at the other end which has led to points being dropped.  They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games.  

An away win for Estoril is just a distant memory, having not won on the road in 13 games.  

On an individual basis, Alejandro Marqués will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 4 goals in Estoril's last 6 league games.
