The home team will feel that their legion of supporters can help twist the game in their side's way, but it will not be an easy one at all. Casa Pia have a midfield engine that is known to break down opposition attacks bit-by-bit, and that will hold them in good stead in this game.

Prediction
Vitoria de Guimaraes are the overwhelming favourites to win this game and we expect them to do so by a huge margin. What will help Casa Pia in this game is the fact that they are ranked 17th in goals scored per match (0.9 goals). However, they haven't scored in their last two away matches, and this is worrying. Nevertheless, Fernando Santos has the most shots on target per match for Casa Pia AC (1.2).
