AVS
WLLLLL 🔻
AVS will be hoping for a better result following the 4-1 Primeira Liga losing effort in their last game against Braga.
In that match, AVS had 36% possession and 4 shots at goal with 2 of them on target. The only player to score for AVS was Rafael Rodrigues (45'). For their opponents, SC Braga got 18 attempts at goal with 8 of them on target. Ricardo Horta (5'), Uroš Račić (26', 37') and Amine El Ouazzani (93') scored for Braga.
AVS have struggled with their forward play in recent times. Their ‘goals for’ figure stands at just 3 against opponents over the course of their previous 6 outings. In those meetings, AVS have also seen the number of goals against them come to 14.
Ahead of this meeting, AVS haven’t won at home in the past 4 matches in the league. Fans are getting restless.
Casa Pia
LLLWDL
After suffering a loss in their previous game against Porto in Primeira Liga competition, Casa Pia and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.
In that game, Casa Pia managed 47% possession and 5 shots on goal with 2 of them on target. Porto got 10 shots on goal with 3 on target. Rodrigo Mora (5') was the scorer for Porto.
It is worth noting that Casa Pia have suffered from a shortage of goals over their last 6 games, contributing the unsatisfactory return of just 4. In those fixtures, Os Gansos (The Geese) have also seen the collective goal tally against them equal 9. Putting that to one side, we must now wait to see whether that pattern shall be sustained in this next game.

🗞️
Team News: AVS
In our view, AVS may well employ a 3-2-4-1 formation for the game with Guillermo Ochoa, Cristian Devenish, Aderllan Santos, Baptiste Roux, Tomas Tavares, Rafael Rodrigues, John Mercado, Gustavo Assuncao, Jaume Grau, Babatunde Akinsola and Ze Luis.
📰
Team News: Casa Pia
Casa Pia boss João Pereira has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Clau Mendes (sprain) and Kiki (unknown injury) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.
It’s our belief that Os Gansos (The Geese) seem likely to play in a 3-4-3 system, giving starts to Patrick Sequeira, Ruben Kluivert, Jose Fonte, Joao Goulart, Gaizka Larrazabal, Miguel Sousa, Iyad Mohamed, Leonardo Lelo, Jeremy Livolant, Cassiano and Pablo.
🔮

Looking at these two, we feel that Casa Pia and AVS may well find themselves both scoring in what promises to be a very even battle here.
It appears that a draw might be on the cards. We’re therefore tipping a very even match with a 1-1 score when the referee blows the full-time whistle.
