Famalicão - Alverca team news and expert analysis
The club from Vila Nova de Famalicão challenged for European qualification last season and finished fifth. They have looked far less convincing this time around. They collected just one point from their first three matches, then drew three in a row, including a points-sharing result against Sporting. Only in their most recent outing did they finally win, thrashing Nacional 4-0 away from home.
The team from Alverca do Ribatejo managed to return to the country's top flight in 2025. They immediately finished 11th, collecting 39 points. This season began with alternating defeats and draws, although they faced a difficult schedule. However, they have now won two in a row in the autumn: Nacional away and Rio Ave at home.
The home side score an average of 1.29 goals per match and concede exactly one. Chiquinho and company are just as productive in attack, also scoring 1.29 goals per game, but their defensive record is considerably worse, with 1.57 goals conceded on average.
