Estrela da Amadora and Alverca will meet at the Estádio José Gomes on Monday night in a match where both teams will be looking to secure their first win of the 2025–26 Liga Portugal season. This match is taking place at Estrela da Amadora's home ground, and the bookies have made the Tricolours the favourites. Read our Estrela vs. Alverca preview for the latest news and predictions.
The two sides have met eight times before in the Portuguese top flight, but their most recent fixture was in 2004. Estrela had the slight edge in those eight meetings, winning four times and keeping four clean sheets. Alverca won four times, with all these victories occurring in the last four meetings. An average of 2.5 goals were scored per game.
Estrela da Amadora team overview
The major target for Estrela da Amadora every season is avoiding relegation, and they have successfully achieved this since their promotion at the end of the 2022–23 campaign.
The Tricolours finished above the bottom three by only one goal in 2023-24, whereas last season they finished two points above the relegation zone.
Head coach Luís Filipe Saraiva da Silva will be hoping for a much better performance this season, and his team showed glimpses of that against Benfica last weekend, despite losing 1:0.
Jovane Cabral, Guilherme Montóia and Robinho will all miss Monday’s game due to injury, but the hosts have no suspensions.

Alverca team overview
Alverca have been promoted in each of the last two seasons, rising from the third division to the top flight in just two years. O Maior do Ribatejo finished second in the LigaPro last season, earning them a place in the Primeira Liga.
As Liga Portugal is the highest football division in the country, they will be looking to finish as high as possible this season, but this is easier said than done.
Custódio Miguel’s men experienced top-flight football for the first time in over 20 years last weekend when they hosted Braga. Although Alverca suffered a 3–0 defeat and only had 32% possession, the fact that everyone left the match uninjured is encouraging ahead of Monday’s game.

Prediction
Both teams are coming into this game off the back of losing their opening match of the new campaign, but I believe that experience could be a deciding factor on Monday. Estrela da Amadora are playing in the Portuguese top flight for the third consecutive season and will also have the home advantage. The Tricolours' recent 3-0 win at this ground against Porto leaves us with no option but to go for a 1-0 home win.
Three reasons we expect Under 2.5 goals in this game
- Only one of the last eight competitive games of Estrela produced more than two goals.
- Five of the last nine competitive games of Alverca ended with under 2.5 goals.
- At least one side failed to score in each of the last five meetings between Estrela and Alverca.
Main prediction -
Under 2.5 goals
