ESTORIL - MARITIMO  PREDICTION STATS

Estoril        - P3 W0 D2 L1 Pts 2 GF4 GA5 - Average goals per game:3.00
Maritimo    - P3 W1 D2 L0 Pts 5 GF2 GA1 - Average goals per game:1.00

TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY

Estoril have had a poor start to the season and may struggle to stay in the division unless they start to pick up points. With 2 points from a start involving 3 of the lesser teams it does not look good for the small Lisbon side.
Maritimo are a supremely organised side who can defend for long periods. In 8 games this season across 3 competitions they have scored 6 goals but only conceded 2. They had a tough midweek fixture in Europa Liga against Newcastle (0-0) that may slightly impact this game. Expect a dour display and nothing given away.

1X2 BETTING PREDICTION

3.22 on Draw (Pinnacle) is a massive price in any game featuring a Maritimo side in such supreme defensive form. Estoril will not offer too much in the attacking department and a low scoring game is extremely likely. The away side is favoured but with their poor attacking record it is not viable to bet them away from home. The draw is an option here and arguably should be vying for favourtism.

ASIAN HANDICAP PREDICTION

Maritimo on the 0 handcap at 1.94 (Pinnacle) is the selection. Both sides are very close here with Estoril slight favourites. I fancy the draw for the overall bet but Maritimo are the call with the draw no bet option. Estoril will have to play way above their usual level to break down a solid Maritimo side. This is unlikely to happen here.

TOTAL GOALS PREDICTION

Under goals 1.61 (Betfair) looks a certain bet here. I am very surprised to see it above 1.50 for these two sides. The game is extremely tight with Maritimo games seeing just 1 goal per game. Estoril games are more open but they have played twice away from home so should be more confident at their ground. Maritimo are strongly fancied to grind out another clean sheet here and its very unlikely they will bag a few goals either.
