Estoril are set to welcome FC Porto at the Estadio Antonio Coimbra da Mota in their first game of 2022. The two sides are in the top five and will be out to consolidate their positions in the league table. Estoril are fifth with 25 points while Porto top the standings with 44 points. Estoril have two straight losses and a three-game winless run as they prepare for this game. They have one clean sheet in the last five matches and in three of them, they’ve conceded two goals or more. The hosts have failed to score in two of their last five matches and haven’t won any of the last five home matches. In each of the last four games at home, they drew.

Porto are on a completely different run; they are favorites to bag the league title though they are dealing with pressure from the defending champions Sporting. Going to this game, Porto are still unbeaten in the league and defensively they’ve been very sturdy. The visiting team has four clean sheets in the last five matches and has only conceded one goal in the process. In the last three matches, Porto have scored two or more goals and the fact that they’ve met and beaten Benfica in the last two matches is sure to boost their confidence going to this game. In their latest game, they thumped Benfica 3-1 and in the last 10 games, they’ve managed eight wins, with two losses coming in the Champions League matches against Liverpool and Atletico Madrid.
