Estrela vs Famalicao Prediction & Betting Tips (19 August)

With 33 points on the clock at the end of the last exercise, Estrela almost went over the 3rd rope with only 1 point ahead of the play-off, Portimonense, relegated at the same time. We will have to do more this year to hope to find maintenance more quickly. During the first day, it is clear that the locals in the evening put together an excellent result on the pitch of last year's top 4, Braga 1-1. During the summer preparation, Estrela won four of its five friendly matches with only one defeat against D2 resident Paços Ferreira 3-4. Opposite, Famalicao photo gave the competition at the top of the table a tough time by slipping to 8th place at the end of the season.

The objective this year will be to do as well or better, why deprive yourself of it ultimately? During the preparation, El Fama was conquering since it did not lose a single match out of the six played for a record of four victories against Trofense 3-0, Penafiel 3-1, Casa Pia 2-0 and Moreirense 3 -1. There are two parity scores against Leixeos 1-1 and Deportivo La Corogne 2-2. To start this new campaign, Famalicao simply took on the runner-up of the last campaign, Benfica, without conceding a goal 2-0.

Like J1, Estrela should be in full force this evening. Author of 8 goals last season, Kikas saved his team against Braga by equalizing in the 2nd period. Note that the 2nd top scorer in the squad in the league last season, Leo Jaba (5 goals, 4 assists) returned to Sao Bernardo (end of loan) while his Brazilian compatriots Andre Luiz (4 pawns last year past) and Cordeiro (3 goals) are still present at the club. Departure of Tavares (return of loan) and replacement goalkeeper Guilherme Fernandes to Bétis for a nice envelope of 10 million. Recently, it was defender Jean Felipe (Leixoes) who took flight. You probably know him well from his prowess at Manchester United more than ten years ago now, Nani (37) signed for the club this summer, free of any contract. Just like his evening opponent, Famalicao could show up in full force for this score.

We cite the two scorers in the win against Benfica, in this case Sorriso (only 1 small goal last year) and the French Youssouf (played by Bordeaux and Saint-Étienne). Arriving from Benfica in the summer of 2022, Jhonder Cadiz scored 15 goals last season, enough to attract offers and he opted for Leon in Mexico. Big loss therefore for what was, by far, the most prolific element up front. In addition, Chiquinho (5 goals, 2 assists) returned to Wolverhampton from whom he was loaned last year. Midfielder Mathias De Amorim signed from Bordeaux while Gil Dias was recruited from Stuttgart.
