Estrela Amadora v Tondela: mid-table buffer meets survival fight | OneFootball

Estrela Amadora host Tondela in Liga Portugal on Friday, 20 February 2026 at Estádio José Gomes, with the hosts looking to firm up mid-table while the visitors chase vital points to escape the bottom two.

Estrela Amadora sit 11th and the match-up has been tight historically, with all of the past three meetings ending level, including a goalless draw in September. Tondela arrive in 17th and under pressure in the relegation places.

Recent form is mixed. Estrela Amadora have one win in five league games, bookended by defeats at Vitória S.C. and Benfica but lifted by a home victory over Santa Clara. Tondela are unbeaten in three after successive draws against Benfica, Estoril and Alverca, though they remain without a win in five.

Season profiles point to different routes. Estrela Amadora have scored 26 league goals at 1.2 per game with 45.29% shooting accuracy. Tondela have 15 goals at 0.7 per game and lean heavily on deliveries, sending 351 open-play crosses at 17.09% accuracy. Both sides have managed just one league goal from set pieces, so open play may prove decisive.

Key threats could shape the game. Kikas leads Estrela Amadora's scoring with six league goals, with Jovane Borges on four. For Tondela, Pedro Henryque is their leading scorer with five.

A home win would take Estrela Amadora to 26 points and could nudge them further from danger. Tondela would move to 18 with victory, a result that could close the gap to safety and potentially pull them towards the relegation play-off spot.
