Estoril is in excellent form and is on a streak of seven consecutive matches without a loss. The team demonstrates stability both in defense and in attack, with their latest match ending in a 2-2 draw against Nacional as visitors. At home, Estoril is solid - with only two losses in 11 matches, and in their last three home games they have not tasted defeat. Their good form gives reason for optimism before this clash.
Rio Ave is inconsistent as visitorsThe visitors are also on a positive streak, having not lost in four consecutive matches. In the previous round, they drew 1-1 against Aves, but overall their performance away from home is not particularly impressive. In 11 away games this season, they have only two victories, often relying on draws. Traditionally, they have difficulties against Estoril and have not won in the last three direct encounters.
Bet on 1XEstoril is the favorite for the three points, but Rio Ave is also difficult to beat at the moment. Considering Estoril's stable home form and Rio Ave's inconsistent performances as visitors, betting on 1X seems like a reasonable choice.
