Casa Pia Nacional betting prediction

After 2 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses, the home team is in the 11^th position, havinf won 8 points so far. In the last match, they have lost in an away match against Sporting CP by (2‑0), after in the previous match they have tied (1‑1) at home, against Vitória SC. This is a team that maintains its competitive levels in home and away matches, since they have had similar results in both conditions. In their last match, for the Taça de Portugal, they got an away win against Amora by (0‑5). In the last 4 home league matches Casa Pia has a record of 1 win, 1 draw and 2 losses, so they have won 4 points out of 12 possible. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 8 matches for this competition. 12 of their last 19 matches have ended with Under 2,5 goals, so there is a tendency for few goals in their home matches. They haven't been able to score the first goal. In fact, they have only opened up the score in 2 of the last 8 matches for the Primeira Liga, they have reached half‑time in advantage in 1 of those 2 matches and have held on to the lead in 1. They have conceded the first goal in 6 of their 8 matches for this competition, and have only turned the score around in 1.

The Casa Pia team is "visibly recovering" its standings after a very weak start. Coach João Pereira was very close to leaving, but the victory away at Estrela proved to be a "turning point" for the Lisbon side. Since that game, Casa Pia has only lost one match, which was away against the champions Sporting. In their last match, they thrashed Amora 5-0 in a game counting for the Taça de Portugal. Thus, in form and full of confidence, Casa Pia hosts Nacional in the 9th round of Liga Portugal.
