Estoril take on the visitors Famalicao in the round 5 match of Portuguese League Cup. The match will be played on Thursday, December 15th at Estádio António Coimbra da Mota (Estoril).
Estoril haven't been able to win for a long time. The Canaries are a modest club, which is not surprising, because it actually represents Lisbon, and there, as in any capital, there are enough strong and ambitious, popular football projects. So from the achievements - only the cup final, lost in 1944. But according to the results of the draw before last, it turned out to return to Primeira, and even give 9th place there in the 2021/2022 championship. Now the intermediate results are clearly more modest. There was a successful segment, but since mid-October it has not been possible to win. Including in the League Cup: there were draws with Tondela and Torreense, and defeat 2-3 to Academician de Viseu on the road.

Famalicao continues to lose ambition and position. Villa Nova entered Primeira in style in 2019. It seemed that this would be something like the Wolverhampton peak in the Premier League, especially since the famous agent, Jorge Mendes, also plays an important role here. But it looks like investors' enthusiasm is gradually fading away. If there was a 6th place in the starting tournament, then everything just went down: at first they rolled back to the middle of the table for a couple of years, and now there is a fight for survival at all. In 13 rounds they took only 3 wins and 11 points. It is not surprising that one does not particularly want to spend energy on the League Cup. At home with Academico de Viseu, they still bounced back, but then lost to the modest Torreense. And with Tondela they recorded a goalless draw.
Famalicao had 2 wins and a draw on the road in recent head-to-heads. But in August, Estoril won 2-0 at home. You should not expect entertaining match from this couple, especially in the League Cup. It begs to bet on total under 2.5 goals.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
