Farense returned to the strongest Portuguese league this season. Similarly, like almost every newly promoted team, their only goal is to avoid relegation, and they are on a good path to doing that after 17 points from the first 13 league matches. Farense are a big seven points above the relegation zone. They lost only one of the last four matches. In the previous game, Farense played 1-1 on the road against Benfica. The home side had xG of 4.06, while guests had only 0.39, but Farense fought bravely and avoided defeat. 

Estrela also came to the league this season, so they have similar goals. They were on a run of four games without a win recently but in the previous match, Estrela won 3-1 at home against Boavista. In that game, the teams were pretty even, but eventually, Estrela's almost-perfect finishing made the difference. Estrela have had problems with scoring lately, but that game should help the team regain confidence ahead of the game versus Farense. 

Farense vs Estrela pick: Farense to win

Farense are not a good attacking team, so seven goals in the last four matches are certainly excellent. On the other hand, Estrela scored seven goals in the previous five games. Farense a slightly better side, they should win in this match versus Estrela.
