Casa Pia sit 16th with a goal difference of -12 after nine rounds, while Sporting CP arrive third, just nine points off Porto at the top. The gap in quality looks wide on paper, and the underlying numbers back that up: Sporting have fired 76 shots across their last five matches to Casa Pia’s 16. Rui Borges’ side lost last week to Academico Viseu though, a reminder that this group can still stumble against sides willing to sit deep, something Filipe Coelho’s Casa Pia have shown they’re capable of doing against bigger opponents.
Luis Suárez has scored five goals in his last four appearances for Sporting and looks the obvious attacking focal point here. On the other side, João Rego has been Casa Pia’s most productive forward recently, scoring once and setting up a free kick chance in his last two games, giving the hosts a rare outlet going forward.
Hot stat: Sporting CP have scored 10 goals combined in their last five matches, five times more than Casa Pia’s two over the same stretch, a gap that lines up with Casa Pia conceding 17 goals in nine league games this season, the second-worst defensive record in Primeira Liga.

Casa Pia vs Sporting CP prediction
We predict a comfortable Sporting CP win, likely by two or more goals. Bookmakers price Sporting around 1.25 to 1.28, which reflects the quality gap rather than overvaluing the favorite. Casa Pia have won only two of their last nine league fixtures and have scored a league-low five goals this season, making it hard to see them troubling a Sporting backline that has conceded just 11 times in nine games.
Casa Pia average 30 fouls and five yellow cards across their last five matches, a sign of a team forced into reactive, physical defending rather than controlled possession, their passing numbers sit far below Sporting’s, who average over 500 passes per match with notably sharper accuracy. Expect Sporting to dominate the ball, draw fouls from a stretched Casa Pia defense, and convert their territorial edge into goals in the second half once gaps open up.

Team Analysis
Casa Pia’s last five results read as a mix of grit against mid-table sides and collapses against better opposition. They beat Estrela 2-0 and edged past lower-ranked FC Alpendorada 1-0, but lost 0-1 to Santa Clara and were thumped 1-4 by Porto. Their most recent outing against Estrela showed some defensive discipline, keeping a clean sheet, but the overall shot and pass numbers over the last five games remain thin, just 16 shots total and a sub-50% completion on long spells of possession. That pattern of beating weaker teams and folding against the top half does not favor them against a Sporting side playing with far greater control.
Sporting CP’s recent form has been inconsistent for a team of their stature. They won three of their last five, including a 3-1 win over Braga and a 2-0 win over Lens, but also lost 2-3 to LASK and, most recently, 1-2 to Academico Viseu. In our preview of Sporting CP vs Academico Viseu we leaned toward Sporting winning to nil with goals at both ends, and the 1-2 result went firmly against that call. That defeat should sting enough to produce a sharper response at a struggling Casa Pia side, a pattern Rui Borges’ team has shown before this season.
Most recent Head-to-Head Matches

Pre-game odds and win probability: Sporting CP the favourite
- Moneyline Casa Pia 9.80 | Sporting CP 1.27
- Draw 5.60
Bookmakers give Sporting CP a 73% implied win probability, and the numbers support it, Sporting have won three of five away league games this season against a Casa Pia team that has taken just seven points from nine matches. A Casa Pia upset at these prices would require a defensive performance well above their season average, something they have not managed against sides inside the top five.
Possible Starting Lineups
Casa Pia possible starting eleven
- GK: Patrick Sequeira
- DF: Domingos José Gabriel Bandeira, Andre Geraldes, Pedro Rosas, David Sousa
- MF: Lawrence Ofori, Sebastián Pérez, Selvi Clua, Mohamed Salah El Boukammiri, João Rego
- FW: Henrique Araújo
Coelho tends to favor a 4-2-3-1 built on defensive solidity, with Bandeira and Geraldes anchoring the back four based on recent minutes played. Lawrence Ofori, the only Casa Pia midfielder with a goal in the last five games, offers their best chance of a counter, while João Rego’s set-piece involvement makes him worth watching if Casa Pia win a free kick in range.
Sporting CP possible starting eleven
- GK: Rui Silva
- DF: Eduardo Quaresma, Gonçalo Inácio, Iván Fresneda, Maximiliano Araujo
- MF: Sergi Altimira, Issa Doumbia, João Simões
- FW: Geny Catamo, Luis Suárez, Nestory Irankunda
Rui Borges typically sets up in a 4-3-3, and the front three picked here reflects the players with the most minutes and attacking output over the last five games. Luis Suárez’s five goals in four appearances make him the obvious threat, with Nestory Irankunda’s two assists suggesting he’ll look to combine with the Uruguayan early.

TipsGG Match Prediction
We expect Sporting CP to win comfortably, likely 3-0 or 3-1. Casa Pia’s defensive numbers, 17 goals conceded in nine league games, give little reason for confidence against a Sporting attack averaging two goals per match over its last five outings. Perhaps the only question is margin, not outcome, and our pick leans toward Sporting covering a -1.5 handicap while keeping a clean sheet against a Casa Pia side low on attacking confidence.
