Season ticket holders at Estadio Pina Manique haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Casa Pia languishing in the 17th position so far. The guesting Sporting Covilhã will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

Casa Pia form and stats

With 1 Segunda Liga win, 0 draws and 6 defeats from their home games, Casa Pia are certainly not brimming with confidence. The Casa Pia manager Ricardo Peres might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.

Casa Pia drew their last game, 1-1 away at Feirense (placed 13th). A strong away win before that one, visiting Santa Clara and winning 2-1.

The Casa Pia fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 7 in 7 matches. Casa Pia have conceded 13 from these games.
