Estrela Amadora v Santa Clara: survival stakes as hosts eye daylight and visitors chase safety | OneFootball

Estrela Amadora host Santa Clara in Liga Portugal on Saturday, 7 February 2026 at Estádio José Gomes, with relegation stakes in focus. The hosts are 14th on 20 points, while the visitors sit 16th on 17 in the relegation play-off place.

Recent meetings have been tight and low scoring. The last three league games delivered two goalless draws and a 1-0 home win for Santa Clara.

Form is fragile on both sides. Estrela Amadora have one win from five but drew 1-1 at Alverca last time out after heavy defeats to Estoril and Benfica. Santa Clara are winless in five, losing four of them, including a 4-2 home reverse against Estoril.

The match-up could hinge on efficiency. Estrela average 1.2 goals per game but concede 1.9. Santa Clara score 0.8 and concede 1.2. The hosts deliver with 23.71% cross accuracy from open play and may look to supply Kikas, who has six league goals. For the visitors, Vinicius leads with five. Neither side has relied on set pieces so far, while box discipline matters too, with Estrela having conceded seven penalties to Santa Clara's five.

Three points would take Estrela Amadora to 23 and could pull them further clear of the relegation places. A Santa Clara win would move them to 20 points and could lift them out of the relegation play-off spot depending on other results.
