Casa Pia form and stats

The away team have been very comfortable on their travels so far, racking up 5 wins, 1 draw and only 2 losses in the Liga Portugal.

Casa Pia won their last game, 2-1 versus Santa Clara played at home. That victory felt nice as this club had gone three league fixtures without winning. Clayton came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Santa Clara last time out, making the manager Martins feel like a tactical genius. Varela was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 7.15. The defender Varela hit one key pass and won 6 of 8 duels.

A loss against Gil Vicente was the result prior to that, in a home game.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Casa Pia have scored 10 goals in 8 league games away. As opposed to that, Casa have seen the ball go into their own net 9 times on the road.

Head 2 Head
