On Saturday, as part of the seventh round of the Portuguese Primeira Liga, the current national champion Porto will be visiting Estoril. We bring to your attention the forecast for this meeting.
"Estoril"
Estoril, like last season, is trying to cling to the European Cup zone in the first half of the year, currently taking 8th place in the standings with 10 points scored. In the second half of August, the Canaries drew with Rio Ave at home (2:2), after which they defeated Portmonense on the road (3:0). In the last home match, Estoril did not manage to oppose Sporting (2-0), but then they won again away to Visela (1-0).
Porto
Porto is currently in third place in the standings, three points behind the leading Benfica. At the end of August, the Dragons sensationally lost away to Rio Ave (1:3), after which two dry victories were obtained – on the road over Gil Vicente (2:0) and at home over Shavish (3:0). Sergio Conceicau's team is failing in the Champions League so far, first losing in Madrid to the local Atletico (1:2), and last Tuesday they lost in defeat at home to the Belgian Brugge (0:4).

Forecast
Estoril has not taken points from Porto since 2014, but now it has a chance to do so, as the Dragons are clearly not at ease now. Betting on the hosts with a plus handicap for a tempting coefficient looks like a very good option here.
