Casa Pia vs Nacional Predictions

• Nacional have lost three of their last five games
• Of Casa Pia’s nine league wins this season, five have been to nil
• Nacional have scored just 19 goals in 19 second tier games this season

Cupset unlikely for Nacional

Nacional beat fourth tier side Rabo de Peixe to reach the quarter-finals of the Taca de Portugal but may find this step up in class against Casa Pia, who are fifth place in the top flight, tough to handle. The visitors have scored just 19 goals in 19 games in the second tier and are in a relegation battle after losing nine of their first 19 matches.

This cup run may not provide much respite from that with the away side fancied to struggle against Casa Pia, who have been the surprise package in the Primera League this season.

The hosts have won nine of their 19 matches to sit in the European places at halfway and they look set to compliment that with a cup run, Filipe Martins’ men are not the most prolific themselves but should be able to rack up a 2-0 victory against their struggling opponents.
