Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 3-0
Casa Pia
Monday’s football game between Porto and Casa Pia will bring down the curtain on day 12 of the new Primeira Liga campaign. The Dragons are on a three-game losing run in all competitions, but they are still seen as favourites to beat Casa Pia at their Estadio do Dragao. Both Wendell and Deniz Gul are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team. Summer signing Samu is widely expected to lead the line for the hosts.
The visitors, on the other hand, are high on confidence following a routine 3-0 Taca de Portugal win over Chaves. Casa Pia, though, are not regarded as good travellers and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Porto’s party at Estadio do Dragao. In their last meeting at the venue Porto defeated Casa Pia 3-1 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team.
Highlighted Player (Pepe):
Pepe is a professional footballer who plays for Porto as a defender. The Portuguese international played for Maritimo at the start of his senior career and in 2004 he moved to Porto. After making 64 league appearances for the Dragons, he signed a contract with Real Madrid in 2007 and he quickly established himself as a first-team regular.
Pepe is well known for his hard tackles and referees often show him red card. The Real Madrid centre back often played as a defensive midfielder under Jose Mourinho and it has to be noted that he scored five goals in all competitions in the 2013/2014 La Liga campaign.
The Portuguese footballer won his second Champions League trophy with Real Madrid in the 2015/2016 season and later in 2016 he helped A Selecao win the European Championship trophy. Portugal defeated France in the title game and Pepe played an important role in Fernando Santos’ team in the Euro 2016 final. The Real Madrid defender was born in Maceio, Brazil on 26 February, 1983.
