Estrella take on the visitors Porto in the round 5 match of Liga Portugal. The match will be played on Friday, September 15th at Estádio José Gomes (Amadora).
Estrela Amadora have just returned to the Primeira Liga after many years of absence. The new season in the top Portuguese division didn't start well for Vieira's team. They lost 0-1 at home to Guimaraes and 0-2 to Benfica in Lisbon. However, by the break for international matches, the hosts managed to recover. They first secured their first win in the league in 14 years, defeating Estoril 2-1 at home, and then earned their first away points in such a long period with a draw against Portimonense (1-1). It's clear that for their first season back, Amadora's main goal is to stay in the Liga and avoid relegation.

The Dragons dream of reclaiming the championship title after a season. Porto have started the season very solidly, even though most of Conceicao's team's victories have been hard-fought. Three wins at the start - all by 2-1 margins against Rio Ave, Farense, and Moreirense - gave them the lead after the first three rounds. After a home draw with Aroca before the break, two Porto teams are now sharing the top spot. Boavista have also started unexpectedly well, and now there's a duopoly at the top for the Dragons. In their match against Amadora, there's a chance, or maybe not, to temporarily take the lead in the championship since the dark and white team doesn't play on Friday.
The teams haven't played against each other for almost 15 years; however, the balance of power in the confrontation remains unchanged even after such a long time. The guests are the clear favorites in this match, while Amadora are still getting used to the Primeira Liga. The Dragons are much more experienced, skillful, and play a more intense and attacking style of football. Moreover, they are motivated to climb to the top of the championship table on their own, and they have a very suitable opponent for this round. So, based on their class, we can predict a victory for the guests with a negative handicap.
Prediction for the match: Porto to win with -1.0 handicap.
