Moreirense's equivalent sample looks a bit healthier, five wins and six draws, but they've also shipped 33 goals in those 20 games, so their defence hasn't been solid either.

Both sides have had defensive problems recently, so goals at both ends shouldn't be ruled out.

Comparative Team Statistics: Estoril vs Moreirense

A history of tight, low-margin meetings

These two have met many times over the years, and the recent head-to-heads have stayed close. The last five league meetings have produced three draws and two one-goal results.

Even further back, big wins are rare between them. Most of these games have been decided by a single goal or finished level.

History suggests this is unlikely to be a one-sided game.

Where they stand right now

Estoril are down in 18th after seven league games, with just two points and only two draws to show for the campaign so far.

Moreirense are in much better shape in 12th, on eight points from the same number of matches, though their own defence has leaked goals too.

Estoril's home form needs to pick up soon if they're going to move away from the bottom of the table.

Cards to keep an eye on

Estoril's Ferro and Isma Sierra have both picked up three yellow cards in their last six or seven appearances, so they've clearly been in the referee's notebook regularly.

Estoril:

Penalty cards:

Ferro x 1 x 3

Xeka x 1 x 1

Isma Sierra x 3

Moreirense:

Penalty cards:

Guilherme Liberato x 1 x 1

On the Moreirense side, Guilherme Liberato has a red card in his last five outings alongside a yellow, which is a disciplinary record worth bearing in mind.

How this one could play out

Given Estoril's struggles to score and Moreirense's leaky defence at the other end, there's a case for goals in this one, even if the head-to-head trend points to something tighter.

Estoril need their home form to click at some stage, but Moreirense's recent away results show they can be got at too.
