Alverca – Estoril

Alverca host a struggling Estorij in what promises to be a decisive clash in the lower half of the table. Sitting 11th with five points from one win, two draws and three defeats, the home side have scored eight but leaked eleven, while Estorij languish in 17th place with just two points from two stalemates and three losses, managing only two goals while conceding seven. The two teams have already exchanged a pair of draws this season, so Alverca will be keen to turn the head‑to‑head in their favour and climb out of the relegation zone, whereas Estorij will need a win to keep any hope of survival alive. Both sides will be desperate to snap their poor runs, making for an intriguing encounter at the Alverca ground.
