REF’s picks

Academic de Viseu return to their home ground in strong form, sitting comfortably in mid-table while Estoril struggle at the foot of the standings without a single win. Backing the hosts on a narrow handicap makes sense as they look to capitalize on Estoril's fragile defensive confidence.

1. 1Académico de Viseu have won three of their last four matches, showing solid momentum.
2. 2Estoril have lost four of their last five games, scoring just twice in that stretch.
3. 3Estoril's desperate need for points could lead to a resilient defensive block that keeps the scoreline tight.
