Famalicão v Estoril: rock-solid defence meets high-scoring visitors | OneFootball

Famalicão host Estoril in Liga Portugal on Sunday, 14 December 2025 at the Estádio Municipal 22 de Junho, with the hosts chasing a firmer grip on the top six and the visitors seeking daylight from the lower reaches.

The sides met last month in the Taça de Portugal, where Famalicão won 2-1 away. In the league table the hosts start 6th on 20 points, while Estoril are 12th with 14.

Recent trends point to contrast. Famalicão have been harder to beat than to score against, unbeaten away this season but less consistent at home. Estoril's last three league games brought a win, a defeat at Porto and a 3-3 draw with Moreirense, underlining their volatility.

Tactically, the match-up pits Famalicão's defence against Estoril's open games. The hosts have conceded just nine goals in 13 league fixtures with seven clean sheets, but scored only 14. Estoril have hit 22 and let in 21, with one clean sheet. For threat, Gustavo Sá leads Famalicão with three league goals, while Gil Dias has three assists. Estoril's Yanis Begraoui has six league goals, and Joao Carvalho has three goals and four assists.

A home win would move Famalicão to 23 points and could strengthen their push for European contention. Three points for Estoril would take them to 17 and may pull them closer to mid-table safety and away from the relegation picture.
