Prediction: 2-1
Maritimo
Estadio Antonio Coimbra de Mota will host Friday’s football game between Estoril and Maritimo. Os Canarinhos have been performing above expectations on their return to Primeira Liga, with the team beating both Arouca and Ferreira, while sharing the spoils with Vitoria Guimaraes. Estoril aim to give fans yet another reason for celebration, and we are positive that they will go for a win in Friday’s game.
Bruno Lourenco should keep his place up front after opening his goal-scoring account in the triumph over Ferreira. Maritimo, on the other hand, have been having their ups and downs at the start of the season. Since Julio Velazquez’s troops are not regarded as good travelers, we are tempted to put our money on Estoril. Xadas, who scored the equalizer in a 1-1 draw with Porto, will be one of the men to watch in the away team.
