📰 Team News: Estoril

Erick Cabaco (Knee injury) and Jordan Holsgrove (unknown injury) aren’t available for Estoril boss Vasco Seabra.

It seems likely that Canarinhos look set to kick off with a 3-4-3 system for this game, utilising D. Leite Figueira, Raúl Parra, Joao Basso, Bernardo Vital, Rodrigo Gomes, Mateus Fernandes, Vinicius Zanocelo, Tiago Araújo, Rafik Guitane, Cassiano and Heriberto Tavares.

📰 Team News: Famalicão

In an otherwise available group, there’s only the lone fitness issue for the Famalicão boss Armando Evangelista to contend with. Henrique Araújo (Ankle injury) misses out for this game.

We are inclined to think that Famalicenses seem most likely to utilise a 4-2-3-1 formation, starting Luiz Júnior, Nathan, Riccieli, Tom Lacoux, Francisco Moura, Zaydou Youssouf, Mirko Topic, Sorriso, Gustavo Sa, Chiquinho and Jhonder Cádiz.

✨ Prediction

We envisage that Famalicão certainly have the ability to breach the defence of this Estoril outfit, although it is unlikely to prevent them from conceding a couple at the other end.

Our selection here is for a close game with a 2-1 winning margin for Estoril when all is said and done. Could easily see this go either way.
