Casa Pia vs Sporting Lisbon: team news and expert analysis
The capital club narrowly avoided relegation in the spring: they finished 16th with 30 points but won the relegation play-offs against Torreense, seemingly celebrating their sensational cup triumph a little too much. Things have been difficult this season as well: they started with defeats, then managed to draw with Vitória Guimarães and even beat Estoril and Estrela Amadora. They also won in the cup, albeit by the narrowest of margins, 1-0.
After winning a couple of league titles, their city rivals and powerhouse lost the 2025/2026 title race to Porto. The Portuguese side still made it into the Champions League, where they beat both Galatasaray and Lens. Perhaps taking LASK too lightly, they suddenly lost 2-3. There have already been plenty of draws in the Primeira Liga, and they had begun to fall behind the leaders. They even lost to Academico de Viseu! They subsequently beat Marítimo in the League Cup, but only 2-1.
The modest capital outfit score just 0.56 goals per game while conceding as many as 1.89. The runners-up average 2.33 goals scored, but also concede a considerable 1.22 per match.
