Team News Estoril

Estoril’s main playmaker is returning from a one-match suspension and is expected to slot back into the starting lineup, providing a significant creativity boost. However, they will be without their first-choice defensive midfielder, who is serving a suspension for yellow card accumulation, which could disrupt their midfield balance.

Team News AVS Futebol SAD

AVS has a lengthy injury list, with three key players ruled out. Their most dangerous winger is a major doubt due to a hamstring strain suffered in training. This severely limits their already modest attacking threat, especially for counter-attacking opportunities.
