Our prediction for this Portugal Primeira Liga match:
Casa Pia
Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 0-2
Sporting
After dropping two points in a goalless draw with Gil Vicente, Sporting CP will look to keep their Champions League hopes alive when they take on Casa Pia on Sunday evening. The Lions failed to turn their dominance into goals against Os Galos, but they are still seen as favourites to beat Casa Pia on the road. All Jovane Cabral, Hector Bellerin, and Daniel Braganca are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the visiting team.
The hosts, on the other hand, are eager to represent Portugal in European competitions for the first time, but given their poor performance in a 3-1 loss to Vizela, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the Champions League-chasing visitors. Both Batista and Clayton are back from suspension, while Leo Natal remains on the sidelines with a long-term injury.
