Vizela vs Estrela Match Analysis & Prediction


11/05/2024 5:30 pm


Estrela Amadora will be looking to remain clear of the Primeira Liga relegation zone when they travel to Estadio Do Vizela to face Vizela on Saturday evening.
The hosts will see out the final two matches of the season as a formality after their fate was confirmed last weekend, while the visitors are just two points above the relegation zone.
After a dismal campaign, Vizela saw their relegation to Liga Portugal II confirmed in gameweek 32 when they suffered their 18th league defeat of the season, losing 1-0 to last season’s promotion winners Moreirense.
That result brought an end to a three-season spell in the top flight for Vizela and marked their seventh successive league game without victory, including six losses and a 1-1 draw against Rio Ave.
With 22 points, they now trail second-bottom Chaves by one point and Portimonense in the relegation playoff spot by six.
Even if all three clubs end the season on 28 points, Vizela will still end bottom since, in the duels between the three teams, the side from Portimao have 10 points, the Flavians six and the Minhotos one.
With this being Vizela’s final home game of the season, they will want to give their home fans something to cheer, although they have failed to win their last three at Estadio Do Vizela and have only prevailed twice in 16 games on home turf.
Meanwhile, Estrela is the only of the three newly-promoted teams still fighting for survival at this late stage of the season, but if they win this match and Portimonense fails to beat Rio Ave, their top-flight status will be guaranteed.
Estrela played out a goalless draw last weekend against Arouca, marking their fourth stalemate in their last five and their seventh successive league match without victory dating back to the start of March.
That result was also their fourth away draw on the bounce and extended their winless run on the road to 12 matches. Sergio Vieira’s side have won just one of their 16 away matches across the season, a 1-0 victory over Casa Pia back in October.
While three points will undoubtedly be the target, Estrela will likely settle for a point here, which should keep them out of the drop heading into the final week when they face Gil Vicente at home, while Portimonense will have a tough trip to Estadio de Sao Luis to contend with.
