Estoril v Famalicão: contrasting form as mid-table hosts meet top-five visitors | OneFootball

Estoril host Famalicão in Liga Portugal at Estádio António Coimbra da Mota on Sunday, 26 April 2026, with the home side seeking a reset and the visitors aiming to consolidate a top-five position.

Famalicão have had the better of recent meetings, including a 4-0 win in December 2025. Estoril sit 10th and arrive on a rough run, having lost four of their last five league games. The visitors are 5th and unbeaten in five, with wins over Vitória S.C. and Nacional followed by draws against Porto, Moreirense and Braga.

Estoril's route back may lean on their creators. Joao Carvalho leads the Liga Portugal assists chart with 11, while Yanis Begraoui is third in the scoring list on 19 goals. They have scored 51 league goals and converted five penalties out of five, but a tally of 51 conceded and only five clean sheets highlights the defensive risk. Famalicão, by contrast, have allowed just 27 goals with 14 clean sheets and could look to their 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 could extend their cushion over sixth-placed Gil Vicente.
