Estrela da Amadora vs Casa Pia AC prediction 20.03.2026 | Liga Portugal

Estrela da Amadora have been walking a bit of a tightrope since coming back up. The Tricolours finished around 14th or 15th in the past two seasons, and, honestly, this year feels much the same. Sitting 14th again, you start to wonder if this is just their level for now.

Form has dipped, though. João Nuno’s side are winless in five, with three defeats in that run. That usually brings nerves, especially when the table is so crowded. At home, it has not been much better. Just four points from the last four at Estádio José Gomes, which is not exactly reassuring.

Jovane Cabral has offered some spark with five goals. You will likely see him alongside Rodrigo Pinho again. On the plus side, no injuries or suspensions, so at least selection stays predictable.

Casa Pia’s journey in the top flight has been quietly impressive, though this season feels slightly different. The Geese finished 10th in their first campaign and then improved to ninth in the following two seasons. This time, however, things have dipped a little. Sitting 15th, Casa Pia are uncomfortably close to the relegation zone.

That said, recent form offers some encouragement. Álvaro Pacheco’s side have lost just one of the last seven matches. Wins over Porto and Arouca stand out, which suggests the Geese can compete when things click. Still, away form raises a question. Casa Pia have not won any of the last four matches on the road.

Jérémy Livolant has been influential, contributing three goals and six assists this season. He should feature again in attack. Like their opponents, Casa Pia come into this match without injury or suspension concerns.
