Santa Clara vs Famalicao Prediction: Stats, Odds & Tactical Preview

The Santa Clara vs Famalicao prediction is on everyone’s radar this Saturday, January 18, 2026, as these two Primeira Liga sides meet at Estádio de São Miguel in Ponta Delgada. With both teams looking to turn the tide on inconsistent form, this fixture offers plenty for sports betting fans, from intriguing betting odds to tactical nuances and head to head history.

Team Form, Tactics, and Key Players

Santa Clara enter this match sitting 14th in the Primeira Liga table, struggling to find their rhythm in recent weeks. Vasco Matos’ side has managed just one win in their last six matches across all competitions, with three draws and two defeats. Their attack has been blunt, averaging only 0.67 goals per game, and their home form is a concern with no wins in the last three outings at Estádio de São Miguel. The hosts’ defensive record is slightly more reassuring, conceding just 0.83 goals per game, but that won’t be enough if the goals continue to dry up.

Famalicao, currently 8th, have also hit a rough patch. Hugo Oliveira’s men have lost their last four league games, with only one win in their last five. Their attack is more productive than Santa Clara’s, averaging 1.4 goals per game, but their defence has been leaky, conceding 1.8 per match in the same period. On the road, Famalicao’s struggles are compounded by injuries to key players like Kaique Rocha and Duplexe Tchamba, but they remain a dangerous opponent.

Key Players & Injuries

Santa Clara: Vinicius Lopes da Silva leads the scoring with 5 goals, while Wendel da Silva Costa tops the assist chart with 2. The team will miss Pedro Pacheco due to a long-term injury, and defender Matheus Araujo faces a fitness test. Diogo Calila and Serginho return to bolster the squad.
Famalicao: Alves Freitas Azevedo Sá and Zabiri have each netted 4 times, and Gil Dias is the chief creator with 4 assists. The visitors are missing several defenders through injury but have no suspensions to worry about.

Both teams have shown a preference for low-scoring encounters, often deploying compact formations. Famalicao are likely to stick with their 4-2-3.05, while Santa Clara’s struggles in attack mean they may focus on defensive solidity and quick transitions.

Head to Head and Statistical Insights

The head to head record between these sides is as tight as it gets. In 18 previous meetings, Santa Clara have 8 wins, Famalicao 9, and just 1 draw. Recent history slightly favours Santa Clara, who have taken three of the last five encounters. Their last meeting, in May 2025, ended 2-1 to Santa Clara, defying the betting odds at the time.

Despite those past successes, Santa Clara’s recent home struggles and Famalicao’s greater squad value (€71.40m vs €37.97m) suggest the visitors may have the edge this time. Notably, both teams have shown resilience against stronger opponents: Santa Clara held Benfica to a 1-1 draw away as big underdogs, and Famalicao managed a thrilling 3.05 draw at Braga.

Santa Clara vs Famalicao Prediction, Betting Odds & AI Tips

Let’s turn to the Santa Clara vs Famalicao prediction from NerdyTips’ AI, which brings together all the stats, trends, and sports betting data for this fixture. The betting odds currently favour Famalicao at 2.65 for an away win, with a home victory priced at 3.05 and the draw at 3.05. These odds reflect the visitors’ higher league position and squad value, but also acknowledge both teams’ recent struggles.

Most Promising Bet: X2 (Famalicao win or draw) – Odds: 1.4, Trust Score: 4.0/10
1x2 Market Prediction: Away win (2) – Confidence: 3.05, Odds: 2.65
Under/Over Prediction: Under 2.65 goals – Confidence: 2.0, Odds: 1.54
Expected Final Score: 0:1 (Famalicao win)
Expected Half-Time Score: 0:0

The AI expects Famalicao to control slightly more possession (53% vs 47%) and generate more attacking chances, with an estimated 15 shots (5 on target) to Santa Clara’s 12 (3 on target). The number of corners and yellow cards is predicted to be low, which fits the pattern of a tactical, cagey affair.

Given Santa Clara’s home woes and Famalicao’s attacking edge, the smart money is on the visitors to avoid defeat. The head to head history is close, but current form and squad depth tip the scales towards Famalicao. For those looking for value in the sports betting markets, the under 2.65 goals option also stands out, given both teams’ recent scoring records and tactical setups.

Final Betting Tips and Prediction Summary

Back Famalicao on the double chance (X2) – they are better equipped to get a result, even if their recent form is patchy.
Consider the under 2.65 goals market, as both teams have struggled for goals and prioritise defensive structure.
The away win (2) is a tempting bet at odds of 2.65, especially given Santa Clara’s lack of home victories lately.

In summary, our Santa Clara vs Famalicao prediction: expect a tight, tactical battle with Famalicao’s quality making the difference. The most likely result is a narrow 1-0 win for the visitors, but a draw wouldn’t be a huge surprise. For sports betting fans, the betting odds suggest value in supporting the away side or a low-scoring affair. As always, check the latest team news before placing your bets.
