A Sports Betting Preview by ArmchairPunter

Santa Clara v Famalicao
Football : Portugal: Liga Portugal
Venue: Estadio de São Miguel
Sunday 18th January 2026, 1530hrs (GMT)

---

Santa Clara picked up a useful point in last weekend’s Portuguese top flight action when they held Nacional to a high-scoring 3-3 draw but there’s a lot more work ahead for the hosts if they are to avoid being dragged down into a relegation battle towards the foot of the Liga Portugal table.

Indeed, Santa Clara have failed to win any of their last five matches in all competitions, drawing twice but losing the other three with losses incurred against the likes of Braga and Porto in the Liga Portugal along with a 3-2 loss at home to Sporting CP in the Taca de Portugal.

However, despite their recent downturn in results, Vasco Matos’ side have lost just four of their nine home games to date this term amidst an overall home record of 3-2-4 7/7.

Famalicao sit mid-table in 10th place in the Liga Portugal standings but they too have experienced a somewhat turbulent time of things in recent weeks in the Portuguese top flight as the visitors have slumped to four defeats on the trot.

A heavy 4-1 loss away from home at Porto in the Taca de Portugal along with league losses at the hands of Benfica, Estrela and Alverca respectively suggest Hugo Oliveira’s side are by no means guaranteed a result at the Estadio de São Miguel on Sunday afternoon.

The wider picture shows Famalicao have managed to capture just two wins in their last nine matches overall whilst also slipping to six defeats in the process along with collecting just three wins on their travels within their eight outings on the road so far this term.

The Betting Verdict

Santa Clara recorded a 2-1 home win against Famalicao in their last meeting at the Estadio de São Miguel.
