Casa Pia vs Vitoria de Guimaraes Match Analysis & Prediction
19/02/2023 11:30 pm
Ahead of their crucial contest at the Estadio Nacional on Sunday night, Casa Pia and Vitoria de Guimaraes are separated by just two points in the Primeira Liga standings.
While the hosts find themselves sixth after managing a solitary victory in their previous six league matches, the visitors occupy fifth place following a run of three straight wins.
Having earned promotion to the Primeira Liga for the first time in 83 years, Casa Pia were expected to find life difficult in the top flight, but they kicked off their comeback campaign in remarkable fashion.
They managed to win five of their opening eight league matches this season, suffering just one defeat in the process, and they also won seven of their first 12 Primeira Liga games.
However, Casa Pia have struggled to replicate their early-season form in recent months, recording two wins, two draws and four losses across their previous eight league matches.
Their eye-catching run in the Taca de Portugal also ended at the quarter-final stage earlier this month, as Nacional secured a 5-2 victory at the Estadio Pina Manique.
However, Filipe Martins’ side remain in contention for a top-five finish in the Primeira Liga, and a positive result against Vitoria Guimaraes will aid their ambitions.
Casa Pia could struggle to get the better of their visitors this weekend though, as Vitoria Gumaraes head into Sunday’s contest on a three-game winning run in the Primeira Liga.
Following a 2-1 victory over Chaves, Vitoria secured back-to-back 1-0 wins against Estoril and Portimonense, meaning that they have kept nine clean sheets in 20 league matches this season.
However, it is worth noting that Moreno’s side have struggled on their travels this season, losing five of their nine away league matches, and three of their previous four, while picking up just three wins in the process.
After suffering successive 3-0 away defeats to Sporting Lisbon and Vizela, Vitoria lost 2-1 at Gil Vicente last month, although they managed to beat Estoril 1-0 in their previous away league game.
Casa Pia and Vitoria have both conceded 20 goals in 20 league matches this season, while the Conquerors have scored one goal more than the Geese, so Sunday’s contest looks set to a tight affair.

Vitoria Guimaraes will travel without the injured duo of Ze Carlos and Tomas Handel, with the latter last featuring for the Conquerors back in February 2022.
