Casa Pia Nacional betting prediction

The home team comes to this stage of the Taça de Portugal (3rd Round) after having eliminated Vila Real with a away win by (2‑3) in the previous round. This is a team that, oddly enough, has had better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 4 draws and 8 losses in away matches; against 2 wins, 4 draws and 9 losses at their stadium. They come to this match after a home loss against Sporting Covilhã by (0‑1). Casa Pia has won 1, tied 4 and lost 5 of the last 10 home matches. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches. In the last 17 home matches for all competitions there are 2 periods that stand out: they have scored 7 of their 16 goals between minutes (76'‑90') and 7 of their 16 goals between (46'‑60').

Casa Pia comes to this match with a 0-1 loss against Covilhã in a game counting for the Portuguese second division. To reach this stage of the Portuguese Cup, the ‘’ Gansos ’’ had to overtake Vila Real. In this game against Nacional, mister Filipe Martins must privilege defensive organization and counterattacks, especially through the corridors. It should be noted that the home team have several difficulties in maintaining possession of the ball and defensive set pieces. Malik Abubakari and Vitó are Casa Pia's best scorers with 3 goals each. All players are available for this game.
