Estoril will host Santa Clara at the Antonio Coimbra da Mota stadium on September 6, 2025, at 20:30 in the third round of Liga Portugal.
Both teams are struggling in the early stages of the 2025/2026 season, with Estoril sitting in 14th place with 2 points and Santa Clara just below them in 15th with a single point. This match represents a vital opportunity for both sides to secure their first win of the campaign and climb away from the danger zone in the Portuguese top flight.
The head-to-head record between Estoril and Santa Clara has been competitive over their last five meetings, with Estoril winning three matches and Santa Clara claiming two victories. Their most recent encounter took place on January 18, 2025, at Estadio do Sao Miguel, where Estoril secured a 3:2 away victory with Joao Carvalho scoring twice (2' and 68') and Yanis Begraoui adding another (30'), while Vinicius (36') and Gabriel Silva (63') found the net for Santa Clara.
However, in their previous meeting at Antonio Coimbra da Mota in August 2024, Santa Clara dominated with a convincing 4:1 win, featuring goals from Vinicius, Alisson Safira, Ricardinho, and Joao Costa, with Alejandro Marques scoring Estoril's lone goal.
Estoril enters this match without a win in their first three Liga Portugal fixtures, having drawn twice and lost once. They most recently drew 2:2 with Tondela on August 31, with Yanis Begraoui finding the net. Prior to that, they suffered a narrow 3:2 defeat to Vitoria de Guimaraes on August 16 and drew 1:1 with Estrela da Amadora on August 11.
Their pre-season form was also concerning, with a 0:3 loss to Millwall and a 0:0 draw against Nottingham Forest. With 5 goals scored and 6 conceded in their league campaign, Estoril currently occupies 14th position with 2 points from 3 matches.
Santa Clara has also struggled to find form, remaining winless in their Liga Portugal matches while also facing disappointment in Conference League qualification. They drew 0:0 with Estrela da Amadora on August 31, following a goalless draw with Shamrock Rovers in European competition on August 28. Earlier, they lost 1:2 to Shamrock Rovers on August 21 and suffered a 0:1 defeat to Moreirense in the league on August 17.
Their European campaign also saw them draw 0:0 with Larne on August 14. Most concerning for Santa Clara is their lack of offensive output, having failed to score a single goal in their three league matches while conceding four, leaving them in 15th place with just 1 point.
