Casa Pia

WWDLLW

Casa Pia, who won their previous game, will hope for a similar result following the 0-4 Primeira Liga triumph over Vizela.

In that match, Casa Pia had 41% possession and 11 shots at goal with 8 of them on target. For Casa Pia, goals were scored by Ângelo Neto (25'), Felippe Cardoso (57', 70') and Larrazabal (91'). For their opponents, Vizela had 13 shots on goal with 3 of them on target.

Their most recent results really do illustrate the point that there has been much resilience in the Casa Pia defence. Casa Pia have been mean at the back, with the number of goals that have gone in at their end during their last 6 matches standing at 4. That kind of trend might not be carried forward into this game, however.

Going into this encounter, Casa Pia have not won at home in their last 2 matches in the league.

📋 Team News: Casa Pia

It’s a low absenteeism rate, with just one fitness concern for the Casa Pia gaffer Gonçalo Santos to be concerned about due to a largely intact set of players. Kiki (Knee injury) is sidelined.

We think that Os Gansos (The Geese) should line up in a 3-4-3 system, utilising Ricardo Batista, Fernando Varela, Nermin Zolotic, Joao Nunes, Gaizka Larrazabal, Angelo Neto, Telasco Segovia, Leonardo Lelo, Pablo, Felippe Cardoso and Nuno Moreira.

ℹ️ Team News: Estoril

Estoril boss Vasco Seabra has a number of players out of action. Erick Cabaco (Knee injury) and Jordan Holsgrove (unknown injury) miss out here.

It’s our belief that Canarinhos might elect for a 3-4-3 formation using Marcelo Carne, Volnei, Joao Basso, Eliaquim Mangala, Wagner Pina, Mateus Fernandes, Vinicius Zanocelo, Tiago Araujo, Rafik Guitane, Cassiano and Rodrigo Gomes.

🧠 Prediction

Our thinking is that Estoril and Casa Pia could both well score here although it’s hard to see a clear-cut winner.

Let’s see what happens, but it could well be that we end up with scores level. We’re therefore seeing a close game with a 1-1 scoreline when the full-time whistle blows.
