Vizela will be looking to end their seven-game winless run when they make a trip to the Estadio Antonio Coimbra da Mota to face Estoril Praia on Sunday.

Estoril Praia were made to crash down to earth two Sunday’s ago when the went down to a 2-1 defeat agaist Benfica at the Estadio de Sport Lisboa e Benfica.

Rafa Silva scored the opening goal in the 34th minute before Goncalo Ramos doubled the lead for As Aguias eight minutes after the interval, then Andre Franco netted a late consolation in the 93rd minute.

Prior to that, Canarinhos ended their three-game winless run on March 12, when they defeated Portimonense 2-0 through goals in either halves from Jordi Mboula and Francisco Geraldes.

Bruno Pinheiro’s side have won eight, drawn 10 and lost nine fo their 27 games this season to collect 34 points and sit seventh in the Primeira Liga standings.

Meanwhile, Vizela failed to return to winning ways last time out as they only managed to pick up a 1-1 draw against Famalicao at the Estadio do FC Vizela.

The Vila Nova appeared headed for all three points through Bruno Rodrigues’ 24th minute goal, but Cassiano netted a last-gasp eqauliser in the 91st minute.

The Vila Nova head into the weekend winless in any of their last seven games, recording four draws and losing three since picking up successive wins over Tondela and Vitoria de Guimaraes back in January.

Their recent defensive failures has been a major source of concern within the camp, as they have now failed to keep a clean sheet in 12 straight games.

Estoril Praia news

Estoril will once again have to do with the absence of Lucas Africo, who has been out of action since last November through a knee problem.

Rui Fonte made his return from injury against Benfica last time out, while Ruben Providence will also be absent as he battles an ankle problem.

Vizela news

Following his leveller against Famalicao last time out, Cassiano is expected to lead the attack once again.

Ivanildo Fernandes made his return from a three-month injury layoff against the Vila Nova, while Koffi Kouao and Bruno Wilson remain out of contention after coming off with injuries against Benfica on March 11.

Prediction and Odds

Following their victory over Famalicao last time out, Estoril will fancy their chances of coming out with another victory here considering their home advantage.

Meanwhile, Vizela are likely to push hard in search of all three points as they look to end their winless run, and we expect a draw.
