Estoril: form and statistics

Estoril played a 2-2 draw in their last game against Moreirense, extending their winless run to eight in their previous ten games. They have managed just one win in their last five games, with three losses and a draw. Their form at home is also bad, having lost their previous three games. Estorilistas sit 9th on the table with 43 points in 33 games, scoring 44 goals and conceding 53. The only thing they can get from winning this game is an 8th-place finish, but whichever way, they have had a great season.

Estoril: Lineup

Ian Cathro will have to do without the services of three players for this game. Pedro Alvaro is suspended, while Alejandro Orellana and Xeka are ruled out due to injuries. However, the gaffer is expected to go out with a 4-4-2 formation that will see Joel Robles between the sticks. Felix Bacher and Pedro Alvaro are expected to operate in the heart of the defence, while the attacking duo of João Carvalho and Yanis Begraoui will lead the line.

Estoril vs Estrela Amadora match prediction 17 May 2025

Estrela Amadora are still much in need of points in this game to escape any form of relegation discussions, but their recent form isn’t looking too good to make me back them to secure a win here. They have lost four of their last five games, and I only see them securing a draw. However, with the poor state of the defence of both sides, I expect both sides to find the back of the net. So, it won’t be surprising to see a 1:1 correct score in this game, which is priced at 6.00 odds on 1xBet.
