Casa Pia vs AFS Prediction & Betting Tips (23 January)

16th and therefore play-off at the moment, Casa Pia intends to take advantage of this weak opposition from AFS to take valuable points. The local team remains in 3 matches without a victory in the league but above all 2 defeats in a row against Rio Ave 3-1 and against Sporting at José Alvalade during the previous day 3-0. Overall, Casa Pia has only won one of its last thirteen league matches. On the other hand, the AFS sporting situation is very easy to understand.

We are talking about a team last in the championship with no victories to its credit and only 4 small points. Relegation seems inevitable for AFS, unless there is a turnaround in the situation from elsewhere. Recently, AFS conceded a third defeat in a row in the league against Arouca 0-1, following setbacks against Moreirense 0-2 and on the turf of the current leader: Porto 2-0. 

Against Sporting, the well-known Jose Fonte (42 years old, ex-Lille) was forced to leave the pitch prematurely due to injury and could be missing today. At the very end of the match, substitute Claudio Mendes was sent off and will be suspended this evening. Conversely, Andre Geraldes will return from suspension while the injured Kaique Rocha, Kiki and Duplexe Tchamba will remain with the medical staff. It is the Frenchman Jeremy Livolant who acts as the best scorer in this team with a total of 3 goals in addition to his 4 assists.

Against Arouca, from the 5th minute of play, the full-back Devenish was excluded and will quite logically serve his red card today. Midfielder Tiago Galletto and Guillem Molina are injured and out today. On a personal level, two players more or less stand out, in this case Nene and Oscar Perea (2 goals each).
