Famalicão visits Estoril at Estádio António Coimbra da Mota on Sunday, April 26, 2026, in a Liga Portugal clash where the visitors aim to consolidate their top-five position. The home side, conversely, seeks a reset after a string of negative results, promising a battle of contrasting forms.
Famalicão has had the better of recent meetings, including a dominant 4-0 victory in December 2025. Currently 5th in Liga Portugal, Famalicão arrives at this match unbeaten in five games, with wins over Vitória S.C. and Nacional, and draws against Porto, Moreirense, and Braga. Estoril, sitting 10th, is on a rough run, having lost four of their last five league games.
For Estoril, the path back to form may rely on their key creators. Joao Carvalho leads the Liga Portugal assists chart with 11, while Yanis Begraoui is third in the scoring list with 19 goals. The team has scored 51 league goals and converted five penalties out of five, but a tally of 51 conceded and only five clean sheets highlights significant defensive risks.
In contrast, Famalicão demonstrates notable defensive solidity, having allowed just 27 goals and kept 14 clean sheets. The team could leverage its strong crossing game, having delivered 446 open-play crosses at 23.99% accuracy, with Gil Dias supplying seven assists.
A home win would move Estoril to 40 points and could lift them from 10th to ninth. Victory for Famalicão would take them to 51 points, keep them fifth, and potentially extend their cushion over sixth-placed Gil Vicente.
