Thursday's football column takes a rare trip to Portugal where the stats suggest that Boavista and Estoril will struggle to score in a scrappy encounter.
-
Estoril games have the fewest goals in the league
-
Boavista have been level in at HT in five of eight away games
-
There's a rearranged Portuguese top flight contest to look at on Thursday, with Boavista visiting Estoril.
Estoril are struggling during a shocking run of form - with just one win in nine and three straight defeats seeing them hurtling towards the relegation zone.
Boavista are nestled in mid-table six points above their opponents and win would push them towards the fringes of the European places.
The bookies actually just about fancy the hosts here but with Estoril winning just twice at home this season and Boavista just twice away then there's no real confidence behind backing either.
It stinks of a draw and move on to me, but just in case someone bags a winner, we'll look at our old friend the half-time draw at 10/11.
Five of Boavista's eight away games this season have been level at the break and with both teams not in the best of form then this can be another.
Goals also don't seem to be on the menu - Estoril's games contain the fewest goals in the league and just two of their home games have seen more than two goals in them.
That's enough evidence to back under 2.5 goals here and combine it with a half-time draw in Thursday's Bet Builder.
