FC Famalicão vs Casa Pia AC – 13/03/2023
319
On Monday night, Famalicao hosts Casa Pia at the Estádio Municipal 22 de Junho as the visitors look to boost their European hopes in the Primeira Liga.
The home team is currently in the limbo of 12th place in the Portuguese top-flight table, 11 points above the relegation play-off spot and 13 points adrift of the European berths in the Primeira Liga.
Famalicao’s recent form in the Portuguese top flight could not have been any more inconsistent, as they have won three and lost three of their previous league games.
In their last league outing, they suffered a 2-0 defeat at league leaders Benfica.
Joao Sousa’s team has a mixed recent home record in the Primeira Liga, as they have won three of their last six home games in the league.
However, they have been strong in defence on home soil lately, as they have kept clean sheets in three of their last four games while conceding just once in the run.
The visitors have been something of a surprise package this season and currently sit in sixth place, just five points adrift of the league’s European spots. A poor recent run of form has hampered the minnow’s top-six challenge.
However, a 2-1 win over Pacos Ferreira last time out in the Primeira Liga ended a four-game run without a league win. The club from the Portuguese capital had also failed to score in any of their four winless games.
Casa Pia has struggled for away victories in recent months, as they have failed to win in four away games on their travels, having suffered three defeats in the poor run. They have also failed to score in all four winless matches.
What does Forebet predict?
Forebet predicts that Casa Pia will end their poor recent run of away form by recording a victory in a low-scoring encounter.
