Santa Clara - Casa Pia predictions

With bookies pricing a home win at 1.91, it’s clear the match may yet go either way. The hosts have a distinct advantage, of course, but both a draw and an away win are quite possible outcomes.

Casa Pia will have little to hope for in this match. 4.87 betting odds on them winning paint a pretty clear picture and from this standpoint there is little doubt in regard to the outcome of this clash.

The hosts can feel pretty satisfied with their previous match. Santa Clara had a difficult trip to survive in the Primeira Liga and they did it by holding on both at the halftime mark and following the final whistle for an HT/FT Rio Ave draw.

With 3.13 odds to win in the previous round, Casa Pia were fighting an uphill battle despite playing at home. After recording a draw at halftime, they conceded several goals and lost quite badly to a $RESULT goal difference.

It’s easy to spot a certain trend when looking over Casa Pia’s recent history – and not in a good way. Their latest appearances were marked by a high concession rate. For example, their previous 3 matches featured more than 5 conceded goals.

Santa Clara could have certainly had a better start to the season, but there’s thankfully plenty of time to make it up. The first thing to do is move up from number 12th on the table by securing 3 points in this favourable matchup.

The visitors are coming into this game as hard underdogs, so their shot at earning some points is not looking great. However, they’ll be highly motivated to do so if they want to get out of the relegation zone. The bright side is that they’re still fairly early in the season.

The betting odds are clearly in the hosts’ favour, and the last time they clashed with Casa Pia things went their way. In fact, they snagged a decisive victory with an advantage of more than two goals.

This will no doubt be an exciting match because both squads will be able to come out in full force. No players have been sidelined due to injury or suspension, and this goes for both sides.

You can safely put down an Over 2.5 Goals bet on this match and feel very confident. If the teams’ records are any indication, 3 or more goals in this match are almost guaranteed.
