Faora casually stopped his strength in their first encounter. This proves they are peers without a doubt.
You don't know that Faora can match Superman's strength, yes she caught his initial punch, but it's a lot more likely he was holding back at first. She's far more trained than him, there'd be no way that Clark would be able to engage her and Nam-Ek simultaneously with any degree of success if he wasn't stronger than them.
Plus, you see their powers progress the longer they're under the sun, it's not unreasonable to assume their strength grows over time. Clark may have even said as much, I can't say for sure, I haven't seen the movie for a minute.
