Casa Pia form and stats

Casa Pia's struggle is real here at Estadio Pina Manique with only 3 points collected from 8 Segunda Liga games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-0-7. Game days at Estadio Pina Manique have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for Casa Pia as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts.

Casa Pia lost their last game at Benfica II (placed 13th) after a 0-4 scoreline. Preceding that match was a defeat to Sporting Covilha (1-4).

Casa Pia were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.

Casa Pia are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 8 goals in 8 games. Casa Pia have conceded 17 goals in these home games, a significant number.
