Famalicao vs Santa Clara Prediction and Betting Tips | December 30th 2024

Famalicao will host Santa Clara at the Estadio Municipal de Famalicao on Monday in another round of the 2024-25 Primeira Liga campaign. The home side have endured a difficult run of results in recent games after a bright start to their season and now find themselves mid-table in ninth place with 19 points from 15 matches.

They suffered a deflating 2-1 home defeat to last-placed Farense in their last match, finding themselves two goals down early in the second half before Oscar Aranda halved the deficit from the spot 10 minutes from time.

Santa Clara, meanwhile, have performed commendably in the league this season and are well on course to avoid the drop. They were beaten 2-0 by Sporting Braga last weekend with a first-half red card to Lucas Soares ultimately scuppering their chances of a favorable result on home turf.

The visitors sit fifth in the league table with 27 points from 15 games. They will be looking to shake off their latest results and end 2024 on a high.

Famalicao vs Santa Clara Prediction

Famalicao are without a win in their last six games and have won just two of their last 14 across all competitions. They are winless in their last seven home matches and will be desperate to snap that streak in their final game of the year.

Santa Clara have lost their last three games on the bounce after winning each of their previous four. They have lost four of their last six away matches but should have enough to avoid defeat on a ground where hosts Famalicao have struggled of late.

Prediction: Famalicao 1-1 Santa Clara
