Form: DWLLL
Casa Pia have six games remaining in the Primeira Liga before the season comes to an end. They are currently eighth in the league standings with 40 points. This translates to 11 wins, 7 draws and 10 losses from 28 games.
The Geese recently gave a good account of themselves after the international window by defeating Rio Ave 2-1 at home. However, they failed to build on this momentum last time out when they were held to a goalless draw against Farense on the road.
Heading into this clash, João Pereira's men have not been in good form in the Primeira Liga. Despite being unbeaten in two league games (W1, D1), it is hard to forget that this is a team that was once on a three-match losing streak, conceding seven goals during this stretch.
Probable Starting XI
Formation: 3-4-3
Sequeira; Goulart, Fonte, Tchamba; Lelo, Kraev, Sousa, Larrazabal; Roberto, Cassiano, Livolant
FC Porto
Form: LWWLW
FC Porto have fallen down to fourth place in the league standings. However, there's no need to press the panic button just yet as they are one point behind third-placed Braga.
The Dragons come into this match low in spirits after Sunday's 4-1 thrashing at the hands of FC Porto in front of their home crowd. This marked the first time in 17 games they conceded 4 goals. Surprisingly, the last time they conceded four goals was in a 4-1 away defeat against the same team—Benfica.
Martin Anselmi's men have won three of their last five league games. Their record becomes even more convincing knowing that they have lost just two of their last ten matches (W4, D4).
Probable Starting XI
Formation: 3-4-3
Costa; Marcano, Eustaquio, Pedro; Moura, Varela, Vieira, Mario; Mora, Aghehowa, Borges

Expert Betting Tips
Our main prediction for the match: W2 @ 1.7 with 1xbet.
I won't complicate things for this matchup other than choosing a comfortable win for FC Porto. FC Porto has been behind some shaky performances on the road but I have reason to believe this could turn out to be a comfortable win for them. The visitors are currently on a four-match winning streak and I'm expecting them to make it five in a row.
2nd prediction: Both Teams To Score - No @ 1.73 with Betway.
I'm not expecting both teams to score here. FC Porto boast the third-best defensive record in the league and I believe their defence can keep Casa Pia at bay. The visitors have kept two clean sheets in their last four away league games and I'm expecting them not to concede here.
3rd prediction: Goals - Under 2.5 @ 1.66 with Bet365.
Under 2.5 goals has been a trend in three of FC Porto's last four away matches in the Primeira Liga. This matchup has the markings of a low-scoring affair and I won't be surprised if FC Porto wins by a 2-0 scoreline.
