Estoril host Marítimo in the 11th round of Liga Portugal on Sunday, November 8, 2026. Kick-off is at 15:30 local time at the Estádio António Coimbra da Mota. Both teams arrive after heavy defeats and need a response: Estoril are 18th with just two points, while Marítimo sit 14th and have lost four of their last five matches. Their defensive records suggest this could be an open contest, although neither side has been scoring freely.

Estoril's Recent Form and Key Stats

Estoril are still searching for their first Liga Portugal win of the season. After ten matches, their record stands at two draws and eight defeats, with averages of 0.5 goals scored and 1.9 conceded per game. They are five points behind Nacional, identified as the first club outside the relegation zone, making this home fixture an important opportunity to close the gap.

The hosts lost 4-0 to Porto on October 31, a result that followed the departure of Vasco Matos and came with João Batista in interim charge. Estoril have taken just one point from their last five matches, losing the other four. Across that spell, they have averaged 0.8 goals scored and 2.4 conceded. Their winless run now stretches to 19 matches overall, including 18 in Liga Portugal.

Estoril's starts to games have also been a concern. They have not led at half-time in any of their last 18 matches and have trailed at the interval in each of their last three league fixtures. A stronger opening period would help them avoid having to chase another result, particularly against an opponent dealing with defensive problems of its own.

Marítimo's Recent Form and Key Stats

Marítimo travel to Estoril after a 2-0 home defeat to Santa Clara on November 1. That followed a 5-0 loss in Guimarães, leaving the visitors in a difficult run. They have lost six of their last eight games; their most recent five have brought one win and four defeats. Like Estoril, Marítimo have averaged 0.8 goals scored and 2.4 conceded across those five matches.

Their league record after ten games is two wins, two draws and six defeats. Marítimo have averaged 0.9 goals scored per match and 2.1 conceded, so defensive improvement remains important even against the league's bottom side. They have also trailed at half-time in each of their last three matches, including their last three away fixtures in Liga Portugal.

There has been a consistent pattern of goals in Marítimo's games, without that necessarily meaning Marítimo have scored them: their last 11 matches have each featured at least two goals in total. Every one of their last 18 matches has also contained a second-half goal, as have their last ten away games. Those figures leave room for the match to change after the break, even if either team struggles early on.

Estoril vs Marítimo Match Analysis

This Liga Portugal meeting brings together two sides looking to halt poor runs. Estoril have home advantage and a five-point gap to reduce, but their 19-match winless streak makes them difficult to back with confidence. Marítimo have more league wins this season, yet their recent defeats and average of 2.1 goals conceded offer little assurance that they can control the game.

The last head-to-head finished 3-1 on May 27, 2023. Across the five meetings covered by the supplied head-to-head record, Estoril have two wins, two draws and one defeat, averaging 1.2 goals scored and 0.8 conceded. That history provides context, but the teams' current form is the more pressing question: both have conceded an average of 2.4 goals over their last five matches.

Scoring is less certain than those defensive numbers alone might suggest. Estoril average only 0.5 goals per league match this season, while Marítimo average 0.9. Still, both teams have reason to seek a win rather than settle for a draw, and neither arrives with a reliable recent defensive record. The balance between those vulnerabilities and the sides' modest scoring averages is central to this Estoril vs Marítimo preview.
