Casa Pia Preview
Casa Pia resumed the Primeira Liga with a 1-2 victory over Portimonense, their eighth win of the season. Ending the year with a win is, undoubtedly, a positive thing for a team that is fighting among the best in the Portuguese Primeira Liga.
The team is currently in fifth place in the standings, with eight wins, two draws and four losses. Which might be surprising is the fact that this team has not stood out offensively, as it has only attained 15 goals in total so far, averaging 1.07 goals per game.
Probable lineup (3-4-3):Ricardo Batista; Fernando Batista; Fernando Varela, Vasco Fernandes, Nermin Zolotic; Lucas Soares, Afonso Taira, Angelo Neto, Derick Poloni; Takahiro Kunimoto, Rafael Martins, Romario Baro.
Porto Preview
Porto has not lost sight of its goal, and although it has not been able to be a perfect team, it continues to be in second place with 32 points, after 10 wins, two draws and two defeats in 14 matches played. Both on offense and defense, the Porto team has been solid, and they have the second highest number of goals scored (36), and the lowest number of goals conceded (10).
The team arrives to this match on a four undefeated game streak, which includes three victories in a row. The most recent win was against Arouca with a 5-1 score. Having resumed their activity with this victory is good enough to keep them in the fight for the first place, even when they currently are five points behind the leaders, Benfica.
Probable lineup (4-4-2): Diogo Costa; Joao Mario, Fabio Cardoso, Ivan Marcano, Wendell Nascimento; Otavio da Silva, Marco Grujic, Mateus Uribe, Wenderson Galeno; Mehdi Taremi, Gabriel Veron.
JefeBet Prediction
The fact that both teams arrive to this Casa Pia vs Porto match after winning suggests that they will bring with a lot of confidence, and that they will try to get another three points. However, we should keep in mind that Casa Pia has not had luck on its side when playing at home. The team has three wins, one draw and three losses in seven matches.
Therefore, it is possible that Porto, which has lost only one of its seven away matches, could take the win in this match by a significant difference in goals.
Prediction: Porto win by a score of 3-0.
