Casa Pia
David faces Goliath at Estadio Jose Alvalade as Sporting CP take on Casa Pia in the Primeira Liga round 8. The Lions are eyeing their fifth consecutive win at home in all competitions and they must be high on confidence following a 1-1 draw with PSV. As Ousmane Diomande suffered an injury in the Champions League clash, Eduardo Quaresma is widely expected to step up. All Marcus Edwards, Goncalves Pote, and Matheus Reis are out of contention with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
Joao Pereira’s troops, on the other hand, are undefeated in the previous four league matches. Casa Pia are likely to adopt a defence-minded approach in Saturday’s game, but preventing Viktor Gyokeres and Co. from finding the net at “Jose Alvalade” is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, we predict that the hosts are going to keep their 100% record in the new Primeira Liga campaign intact. The likes of Beni, Kiki, Mendes, and Pereira are out of contention with injuries for the away team.
