Match Time & Date:

21:30
Prediction: 2-0
Casa Pia
Buoyed by a hard-fought 1-0 win over Arouca, Porto will look to stay in the title race when they take on Casa Pia on Sunday evening. The Dragons look unstoppable at the moment, but they face yet another must-win situation against Casa Pia as Benfica are leading the chase for the trophy. The good news for Sergio Conceicao is that Colombia midfielder Mateus Uribe is back from suspension, while Joao Mario remains in the recovery room.
Filipe Martins’ troops, on the other hand, do not seem to be at their sharpest, with the team collecting two points in total from the last five league matches. Considering that Casa Pia head into the season finale with the lack of motivation, we predict that the title-chasing hosts are going to pick up all three points from the match.

Futebol Clube do Porto are one of Portugal’s biggest football clubs playing their matches in front of 50,000 people at their Estadio do Dragao. Porto form biggest rivalries with two other Big Three clubs in Portugal and regular league title contenders – Benfica and Sporting CP.
