Estrela Amadora v Famalicão: survival fight meets European push | OneFootball

Estrela Amadora host Famalicão in Liga Portugal on Monday, 11 May 2026 at Estádio José Gomes, with the hosts trying to stay clear of the relegation play-off and the visitors defending a top-five spot and chasing Europe.

Estrela Amadora are 15th on 28 points, while Famalicão sit fifth with 52. The reverse fixture in December finished 3-2 to Estrela in Vila Nova de Famalicão, a reminder the hosts can trouble higher-ranked sides.

Form points in opposite directions. Estrela have lost five league games in a row, including against Sporting CP and Porto. Famalicão are unbeaten in five, drawing with Porto, Braga and Benfica and winning away at Estoril.

The visitors have conceded only 29 league goals and kept 15 clean sheets, a platform to control the game. With 485 open-play crosses and nine headed goals, their wide delivery could test Estrela's defence. Gil Dias leads their supply with seven league assists. Estrela have scored 36 times with 43.28% shooting accuracy and earned eight penalties, with Jovane Borges on seven league goals, so pressure in the box may be their route.

A home win would take Estrela to 31 points and could ease the pressure above the relegation play-off. Victory for Famalicão would lift them to 55 points and could strengthen their top-five standing and European push.
