Our prediction for this Portugal Primeira Liga match:
Casa Pia and Famalicao square off against each other at Estadio Municipal de Rio Maior in what is expected to be a close Primeira Liga encounter. Casa Pia are on a three-game winning run in the Portuguese top flight, but Sunday’s clash will be anything but a walk in the park for the home side. Defender Gaizka Larrazabal serves a one-game ban due to the accumulation of yellow cards, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The visitors, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team failing to win the previous six league matches. As Famalicao failed to impress in a 2-1 loss to Santa Clara, we are tempted to place our bets on the home side. In their last meeting in the Portuguese top flight, Casa Pia defeated Famalicao 2-1 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself.
Highlighted Team (Famalicao):
Founded on August 21, 1931, Famalicao are a Portuguese football club that compete in the Primeira Liga. The colour of their home kit is white, with the team wearing blue shirts and blue shorts when playing on the travels.
