Estrela take on the visitors Arouca in the round 15 match of Liga Portugal. The match will be played on Thursday, December 28th at Estádio José Gomes (Amadora).
Estrela Amadora feels comfortable at the new level. While Estrela can't be considered a debutant in the full sense of the word, a team with almost the same name existed since the 1930s and had certain successes, including winning the Portuguese Cup. However, due to financial problems, it lost its professional status in 2011 and initially existed only in the youth format. Only gradually did it manage to rebuild until it won the play-offs in the summer and ascended to the top tier. In the top tier, the newcomer, whose recent investor is Evra, shows statistics of a solid mid-table team. They have gathered 16 points in 14 matches, including 5 in the last three rounds.

Arouca made their way into the Primeira Liga for the first time in 2013. However, they have already reached the fifth place, debuted in the Europa League, and got relegated to the second division. The story could repeat itself: returning in 2021, the club rose to the top 5 in the previous championship. But then they lost to Brann in the Conference League qualification (1-3 in Norway after 2-1 at home), and the league statistics are quite modest. After winning 4-3 against Estoril in the first round, there were 3 draws, followed by 7 defeats. This cost Daniel Ramush his job, but it helped. His namesake, Souza, managed to turn things around, earning 7 points in the last three rounds.
Estrela will play against Arouca for the first time after the restructuring, as they were always in different divisions before. The chances for the pair are considered roughly equal. So, you might consider placing a bet on the both teams to score format for this match.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score – yes.
