The Portuguese championship is entering the decision phase, we have the home team fighting not to be relegated and Estoril who want to get as many points as possible and try to get a place in the European competitions.
The hosts approach this fixture with just one victory in their last eight outings and have suffered three consecutive defeats, while the visitors are winless in four matches.
AVS Futebol is already on its third coach this season, things have barely improved but the truth is that the team is also weak. In the last championship game they lost 4-1 to Famalicão and had a poor performance.
Both teams are at full strength.
Estoril started the season badly, the coach was almost fired, he asked the fans and the President for time to impose his ideas, the truth is that the waiting time ended up being good because the team is playing very well and they are in a good place in the league table.
Ian Cathro's men sit ninth with 36 points, 13 clear of the relegation playoff spot, their hopes of securing European football are beginning to slip, as last weekend's 2-1 defeat to Porto left them 10 points behind fifth-placed Santa Clara and a distant 20 adrift of Braga in fourth. Estoril must win as many points as possible to avoid being left out of European competitions.
It will be a balanced game, but if Estoril plays like in the last few games they will win points because they are the best team and have a lot of quality in attack to cause problems for the AVS team.
葡萄牙联赛正进入决胜阶段,我们的主队正在为保级而战,而埃斯托里尔则希望得到尽可能多的积分,争取在欧战中获得一席之地。
东道主在过去的八场比赛中只取得了一场胜利,并且遭遇了三连败,而客队在四场比赛中没有获胜。
AVS Futebol本赛季已经换了第三任教练,情况几乎没有改善,但事实是球队也很弱。在上一场冠军赛中,他们以4:1输给了famalico,表现不佳。
两个队都满员了。
埃斯托里尔赛季开始时表现糟糕,教练几乎被解雇,他要求球迷和主席给他时间来实施他的想法,事实是等待的时间最终是好的,因为球队踢得很好,他们在积分榜上名列前茅。
伊恩·卡特罗的球队目前积36分排名第九,离降级附加赛席位还有13分之遥,他们进军欧洲赛场的希望开始减弱,上周末1 - 2负于波尔图,使他们落后排名第五的圣克拉拉10分,与排名第四的布拉加相差20分。埃斯托里尔必须赢得尽可能多的积分,以避免被排除在欧洲赛事之外。
这将是一场平衡的比赛,但是如果Estoril像前几场比赛那样发挥,他们将会赢得积分,因为他们是最好的球队,在进攻端有很多质量,可以给AVS队制造麻烦。
