Porto vs Estoril Praia Prediction, H2H Stats & Statistical Bets 31 October 2026
🔊 Porto and Estoril Praia are separated by 25 points and the entire Primeira Liga table. The hosts have won all nine rounds, while the bottom side remain the only team without a win and have already changed their manager. Yet the leaders are flawless only domestically: in the Champions League, Francesco Farioli's side have no points at all. Can the last-placed club find the same gap that Porto's European opponents have already found?
Head-to-Head
📊 Porto have won the last four head-to-head meetings in the Primeira Liga. Estoril Praia's most recent victory came in March 2024, when they beat the Dragons by a single goal at home. Away from home, Estoril Praia have found it particularly tough: they have failed to score in two consecutive visits, and in November 2024 they lost 0-4.
Head-to-head statistics Porto - Estoril Praia

Porto: nine from nine and nil in the Champions League
Porto are the only side in the Primeira Liga without a defeat. Among the teams they have beaten is Benfica, who sit second and are already five points behind. In the previous round, the leaders took all three points away at Gil Vicente, with winger Borja Sainz - who made it into the starting XI at the last moment - scoring the only goal. Farioli was reluctant to talk up the perfect run: "It means nothing. What matters is 27 points."
In Europe, the same side look rather different. In the Champions League, Porto have lost to Manchester City, Betis and PSV, with the defeat to the Dutch side coming four days before the trip to Gil Vicente. That is why Farioli valued that win as a response: "It was important to react - a clean sheet and a stable performance."

Estoril Praia: bottom of the table and a caretaker manager
Estoril Praia are bottom of the table: nine rounds have brought them two draws, seven defeats and two points, leaving them five points adrift of the safety of 15th place. The main problem is in attack - no other club in the Primeira Liga has scored fewer goals. After the eighth round, the club parted ways with Vasco Matos, under whom the team had failed to win a single league match. Sérgio Raimundo, the under-23s coach, was appointed caretaker.
The change of manager has yet to produce a turnaround. In the Taça de Portugal, Estoril Praia barely got past Salgueiral from the fourth division: they equalised in the 89th minute and then relied on goalkeeper Martin Turk, who saved two penalties in the shootout. Things went worse in the Primeira Liga shortly after, as Moreirense scored three times before half-time and won 3-1.

Total Goals Prediction
Fewer than four goals have been scored in 11 of Porto's last 12 home matches, and in each of Estoril Praia's last eight away games. Estoril Praia themselves have failed to score more than one goal in 15 matches in a row. On top of that, they face the best defence in the league: Porto have conceded just four goals in nine rounds. We don't expect more than three goals in this match. The bet is Total Goals - Under 3.5 at 1.43*.
Corners Prediction
Fewer than ten corners were recorded in 10 of Estoril Praia's last 11 away matches. Porto win plenty of corners but also keep their opponents' tally relatively low: across their last 10 official matches, the Dragons have earned 54 corners while their opponents have managed 30. We expect the match to fall short of ten corners. The bet is Total Corners - Under 9.5 at 1.90*.
Yellow Cards Prediction
Porto received fewer than three yellow cards in 10 of their last 11 Primeira Liga matches. The league leaders are playing cleanly in general: across their last 10 official matches, Farioli's side have picked up 13 bookings while their opponents have received 20. Porto accumulated three cards in that run on just two occasions - against Betis and Benfica. Against the bottom side in the table, they are unlikely to be called upon to foul frequently. The bet is Porto Team Total Yellow Cards - Under 2.5.

📌 Editorial Prediction
Porto have won all nine of their Primeira Liga matches, and there is little doubt about a home victory here. That said, we are not expecting a heavy defeat for the visitors. Estoril Praia have not lost by more than two goals in any of their last ten away matches, and in 12 of their last 14 head-to-head meetings with Porto they kept the margin within two goals as well. We are backing Porto to win, but by no more than two goals. The bet is Estoril Praia - Handicap +2.5. Predicted score: 2-1.
