In this week 12 match, on Mon Nov 29th, Estoril will host Santa Clara at Estádio António Coimbra Da Mota in a clash of these two extremely mismatched Primeira Liga teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 13 degrees, which should make for a nice day for football. 4th placed Estoril is fresh off their 1-1 draw against Vizela. Amorim Silva scored the first goal for Vizela in the 53rd minute, then Silva Filho got the equalizer for Estoril in the 68th minute on a feed from Arthur Gomes squeezing out at least the one point for Estoril. With 17 points in their last 10 matches Estoril should be reasonably happy with their performance, while in their last match, Santa Clara recorded a 0-3 loss against Porto. Sérgio Oliveira struck first for Porto in the 42nd minute, then Luis Díaz added another in the 46th minute In the end, Santa Clara couldn’t muster any offence and Porto ran away with the shutout win. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 6 points in their last 10 matches.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out.
Santa Clara is having problems scoring lately. Their top scorers, Lincoln and Jean Patric each only have 1 goal in their last 5. Estoril’s top weapon lately has been Andre Filipe Russo Franco, who has three goals in the last 5 matches.
