Famalicão v Casa Pia: top-half push meets revival bid | OneFootball

Famalicão host Casa Pia in Liga Portugal on Monday, 23 February 2026 at Estádio Municipal 22 de Junho, with the hosts eighth on 32 points and the visitors 13th on 22, both seeking a mid-season lift.

The reverse fixture in September finished 1-1, while last season's meeting at this ground ended 2-1 to Famalicão. That recent head to head balance keeps the match-up in focus for both sides.

Famalicão have three wins in their past five league games, beating Santa Clara, Tondela and AVS either side of defeats at Gil Vicente and Sporting CP. Casa Pia arrive on an unbeaten run of three, drawing at Nacional before home wins over Porto and Arouca.

The hosts' route may lean on a solid defence that has conceded 21 goals with 10 clean sheets, plus a higher shot volume across the season. Casa Pia have scored 25 but conceded 41, so their best chances could come in transition. Key threats include Famalicão midfielder Gustavo Sá with four league goals and creator Gil Dias on four assists, while Jeremy Livolant leads Casa Pia's supply line with seven assists.

A home win would move Famalicão to 35 points and could nudge them closer to the top half's European conversation. Victory for Casa Pia would take them to 25 points, offering daylight to the relegation places and a push towards mid-table.
