LiontipsCasa Pia vs Benfica. Prediction (odds 2.01) and bets on the Portuguese Championship match
Command Analysis
Current form
Casa Pia has been regularly picking up points lately. The team has to thank the schedule for this, as the games were mostly against teams from the bottom of the standings. The exception was the last match in 2024 against Braga, in which Alexandre Santana team surprisingly won (2:1), and the match was an away game.
The upcoming opponent is fighting for the lead, so even on their home field they will have to put in a lot of effort to continue their unbeaten streak in the Primeira Liga, which currently stands at six matches in a row.
Disqualifications and injuries
Kiki and Mendes are injured, and Kraev will not take to the field due to an excess of yellow cards.
Interesting trends for betting
- Casa Pia has not lost in six matches in a row in the national championship
- The hosts have scored in the last seven matches
Estimated line-up: Sequeira - Goulart Fonte, Tchamba - Larrazabal, Segovia, Miguel, Lelo - Livolan, Cassiano, Moreira.
Current form
What Benfica did on January 21 in the Champions League against Barcelona is fantastic. Of course, it was one of the most spectacular matches in the past part of the European Cup, in which Bruno Lage charges lost disappointingly with a score of 4:5. It a shame, because after the first half they were leading 3:1, and at the end of the second 45 minutes the game began to fall apart. The result - three unanswered goals in 18 minutes did not allow them to take a single point in Spain.
The club is doing well in terms of scoring. They have scored at least three times in the last three matches, and given the upcoming opponent, it is quite possible that they will be able to extend the goal-scoring extravaganza.
Disqualifications and injuries
Gouveia and Sanches will not play today due to injuries.
Interesting trends for betting
- Benfica have scored at least three times in their last three matches
- The visitors have conceded in the last five matches

1.80Tip and bets
Casa Pia is in good form, and Benfica clearly spent a lot of energy on the match against Barcelona. Next week there is another game in the Champions League against Juventus, so it is very likely that the coaching staff will not field the main lineup, which will not be able to keep a clean sheet, but at the same time, with the efficiency that the visitors are showing at the moment, it is simply unrealistic not to score.
Our prediction is both teams to score with odds of 2.01
Bet on the outcome
Benfica has a very difficult schedule, and it is strange that bookmakers are inclined to believe that the visitors will confidently win the match. Casa Pia understands perfectly well that the opponent is not having an easy time at the moment, and will definitely play attacking football, in which they will not lose with a difference of more than one goal. In principle, the team has also never lost to the upcoming opponent with a difference of more than one goal in front of local fans.
The second bet is Asian handicap (+1.5) on Casa Pia with odds of 1.66
Bet on corners
Judging by the form the clubs are in, the game should not be boring. We will also bet on the fact that the opponents will take a decent number of corners between them.
Betting Tip - total over 9.5 corners with odds of 1.82
