Casa Pia form and stats

3 victories, 3 draws and 3 defeats. That’s what Casa Pia have to build on here at Estádio Pina Manique in the Segunda Liga.

Casa's last game was hosting Cova Piedade (placed 16th) and winning 2-1. In the game before, an away victory match versus Varzim with a 1-0 scoreline.

This is expected to be a close game, with Casa Pia perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Casa Pia as a small favourite), we find five games. Casa Pia has won two of these, drawn one and lost two.

Casa Pia are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 11 goals in 9 games. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Casa Pia defense is not exactly impregnable. 16 goals conceded from 9 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Leixões form and stats

There's been little loot from Leixões's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 9 away games in the Segunda Liga. Leixões only have 1 win to counter their 5 defeats and 3 draws.

Leixões are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 1-1 draw at Académica (placed 2nd). Before that, Leixões secured a home win against Vilafranquense with the score 2-0.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Leixões playing away and similar expectations, we found 16 relevant matches. Results were two Leixões wins, seven draws and seven defeats.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Leixões as they have only managed to score 6 times from 9 away games in the league. It's worth mentioning that 4 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. 12 goals have been conceded by Leixões in these games.
