Head-to-head history heavily favors the visitors. In their last 10 meetings, Famalicao have won 6 times to Estoril's 3, with just 1 draw. The most recent clash in December 2025 ended 0-4 to Famalicao, and they also took a 2-1 win in November 2025. Estoril's historical home record against them is 3 wins, 0 draws, 2 losses, but the recent trend is unmistakably one-sided. Goal expectancy models point to 1.30 for Estoril and 1.40 for Famalicao, suggesting a tight, low-scoring affair leaning towards the visitors.

The market prices an Away Win at 2.25, implying a 44.4% chance.
