Casa Pia - Nacional predictions

Casa Pia are definitely more likely to win, though all three possible results are quite reasonable to expect. This makes it hard to make reliable betting predictions when this match is concerned, though we may find some betting value.

Nacional is a team that doesn't shy away from a challenge and we anticipate them giving their all in this matchup.

Casa Pia’s painful defeat in their previous away match could have been seen from a mile away. They were facing Porto as visitors, so betting predictions never gave them much of a shot. The home team took an early lead which culminated in a 4:0 loss for Casa Pia.

It’s hard to hold Nacional’s previous home loss (1:4) against them. After all, they were up against Sporting CP, who were considered very hard favourites at odds of 1.25. As was expected, Sporting CP won the match decisively.

Casa Pia have been struggling to keep the ball out of their net lately. For instance, their previous 3 Primeira Liga matches were marked by more than 5 goals conceded in total.

The away team’s defensive record is slipping. They’ve conceded more than 5 times in their previous 3 Primeira Liga engagements. This, at least, points to this match as a decent choice for something like an Over 5 Goals bet.

Even though Casa Pia are the favourites to win this showdown, they’ve been known to have issues fighting Nacional in the past. For instance, they lost this matchup quite badly last season.

Fortunately, both teams will be able to give their all this Saturday. Neither squad has been affected by injuries or suspensions, allowing the coaches to work with all the tools at their disposal.

Our advice is to stay on the safe side and go for the Over 2.5 Goals market. It’s reliable, very probable, and available at odds of 2.20 if you use the 888Sport sportsbook.
