The lovely Portuguese football stage is set for CF Estrela Amadora vs AVS - Futebol SAD. Guillermo Ochoa, the keeper for AVS-Futebol SAD, has been showing promise with his slick save of 11 shots but his opposite number João Costa, between the sticks for CF Estrela Amadora, shows better with 16 saves. Statistically, that's like comparing apples and a much better kind of apple.
AVS boasts of Nenê, showcasing a flair for the dramatic with an impressive 7.60 rating. However, the lack of goals in his back pocket proves the point that suspense in football can sometimes just feel draining. Lucas Piazón is another try-hard, giving more than 9 out of 10 passes accurately though failing to get the ball in the back of the net.
Looking at CF Estrela Amadora's roster, star player Alan Ruiz has netted 1 goal with an overall rating of 7.35. Meanwhile, Paulo Moreira, the "pass master," has completed an outrageously efficient 96.8% of his passes, but again, ended up goalless. Kind of like the time I tried baking a cake but ended up just eating the batter.
Factoring in their previous engagement, AVS and CF Estrela ended in a dull 1-1 draw. You know, the kind of match that makes you switch the channel to Home Shopping Network. And while both teams have a checkered past in regular season records, the recent wins over FC Porto and CD Nacional suggest CF Estrela has found some spark that could mean the difference.
