Casa Pia vs Boavista Match Analysis and Prediction

4 years ago 829

Boavista will be looking to make it three wins from their opening three matches in the new Primeira Liga campaign when they travel to the National Sports Center of Jamor to face Casa Pia on Sunday.

Meanwhile, the hosts head into the contest as one of six sides who are yet to taste victory this season and will be looking to end this dry spell.

Casa Pia failed to claim their first win of the 2022-23 Primeira Liga campaign when they fell to a narrow 1-0 defeat against Benfica on home turf last Saturday.

In the contest where Nicolas Otamendi received his marching orders, striker Goncalo Ramo scored two minutes before the hour mark at the Estadio Dr. Magalhaes Pessoa to hand As Aguias all three points.

That followed a goalless draw with Santa Clara in their league curtain-raiser on August 7, when Leonardo Lelo saw his 10th-minute penalty saved by Marco Pereira in goal for Os Acoreanos.

Filipe Martins’ side now return to their home turf, where they are currently unbeaten in eight of their nine most recent competitive matches, with last weekend’s defeat to Benfica being the only exception.

Meanwhile, Boavista mantained their impressive start to the season last time out when they fought back from behind to secure a 2-1 victory over nine-man Santa Clara at the Estadio do Bessa.

In a game where Christian Tassano and Bruno Almeida were shown red, Rildo scored in the 34th minute to give the visitors the lead heading into the break, but Yusupha Nije and Martin Tavares scored second-half goals to turn the game around.

Petit’s side head into the weekend unbeaten in each of their six most recent matches across all competitions, picking up three wins and three draws since April’s 3-0 defeat at the hands of Sporting Lisbon.

Casa Pia news

Martin is once again likely to give the nod to Joao Nunes, Vasco Fernandes and Nermin Zolotic, teaming up in the three-man back line.

Afonso Tiara and former Moreirense man Neto should handle business at the centre of the pack once again, while Lucas Soares and Lelo should retain their wing-back spots.

Boavista news

Boavista will have to make do without the services of Ricardo Mangas, who will now miss the opening three games to the season due to a muscle injury.

He is joined on the visitors’ injury table by midfielder Miguel Reisinho, who has been out of action since last August through a knee injury.

Prediction and Odds

Casa Pia head into the contest desperate to get their campaign up and running, but they face a Boavista side who have flown out of the blocks this season.

The visitors are active at both ends of the pitch and we envisage that they will come away with all three points this weekend.
