**Estrela Calheta are looking to bounce back from a harsh 3-0 beating, but União de Lamas have been steadier in the midtable grind** — this is a classic mid-table scrap where consistency might just edge out desperation. 🔨

Calheta's form is wildly inconsistent (one win sandwiched between losses), while Lamas have grabbed a couple of draws to stabilize. The visitors' 5-4-1 shape should give them a defensive cushion against Calheta's more attacking 4-4-2.

Key storylines:

- **Calheta need a reaction** after that 3-0 hammering at Castro Daire; home advantage could be the spark they're missing
- **Lamas' defensive setup** under F. Príncipe and the back five should frustrate Calheta's front four
- **Set-pieces and counter-attacks** will likely decide this — don't expect a free-flowing game

Expected lineups:

- **Estrela Calheta FC**: H. Andrade, C. Teixeira, C. Vasconcelos, D. Martins, F. Silva, Dino, F. Abreu, J. Abreu, J. Sebastião, B. Silva, B. Candal
- **CF União de Lamas**: D. Santos, B. Tavares, D. Rodriguez, F. Leite, Carlitos, H. Almeida, A. Brandão, F. Príncipe, N. Aparício, R. Braga, Batistuta

Prediction:

**1-1 draw** — both sides have the tools to avoid defeat but lack the cutting edge to steal three points. Slight lean to a stalemate. ⚽
