Famalicao (home)
- Famalicao have won five of their 11 home matches in the Primeira Liga 2025-2026 campaign and score an average of 1.73 goals per game on home turf.
- Hugo Oliveira took over as head coach of Famalicao in December 2024 and has since introduced a pressing game where his side press the ball at every opportunity and aim to win the ball back to exploit the opposition at the break with fast breaks down the line or through a dynamic number 10.
- The hosts have won three and lost two of their last five games, with a recent 3-1 home win over AVS Futebol SAD and a 1-0 defeat at Sporting CP.
- Famalicao are in seventh place in the Primeira Liga on 32 points from 22 games.
Casa Pia Atletico (away)
- Casa Pia Atletico have won three of their 11 away matches in the Primeira Liga 2025-2026 and have conceded 20 goals on the road.
- The visitors have won two, drawn two and lost one of their last five matches, including an important 2-1 win over FC Porto and last week’s 3-2 home win over Arouca.
- Alvaro Pacheco, who took over the reins in January 2026, has tightened the defensive block and made Casa Pia more dangerous in counter-attack, where they can hit on the counterattack with a number of wide players.
- Jeremy Livolant is their most dangerous player with three assists in his last five appearances and has been the focal point of Casa Pia’s creative play.
Head-to-Head
- Casa Pia Atletico will park the bus against Famalicao and try to hit them on the break, which should lead to a tight and tense affair.
- The last head-to-head in the Primeira Liga finished 1-1 at Casa Pia Atletico and Famalicao are undefeated in their last two against Monday’s opponents.
- Oliveira’s pressing game has the potential to produce more turnovers in the opposition half and this could be a match where the game flows in transitions, so margins for error are small.
Key Players
- Gustavo Sa has four goals for Famalicao in the league this term and is their best target man, although the team have lacked a regular goal-scorer.
- Jeremy Livolant is Casa Pia’s most dangerous player with three assists in his last five appearances and has been the focal point of their creative play.
Prediction
Famalicao have the better home record, are six places above Casa Pia in the table and are the clear favorites at 1.49 , so we’re going to take them to edge a low-scoring encounter.
