In the previous season, these teams met twice, with Sporting CP winning both games 2:0 on the road and 3:0 at home. Looking further back, these teams met nine times in the 21st century, with Sporting CP winning each of those.
When it comes to the number of goals, seven out of the past nine h2h games ended with three or more goals, while both teams scored in five of those nine games.
Casa Pia team overview
Casa Pia had an atrocious start to the season, winning a mere one point in the opening six games. However, they started doing better in recent games, collecting two of the past three league games and three of the past four games across competitions. With a couple of solid results, they are now in 16th place with seven points from nine rounds. But to be fair, they aren't playing well and look particularly bad on offense, having scored only five goals so far, the fewest in the league.
Midfielder Seba Perez suffered an injury in the previous game against Estrela and had to leave the field around 12 minutes before the end of the match. According to first news, the midfielder will miss the Sporting game. Additionally, the team's first goalkeeper, Andre Gomes, is also out due to an injury.
On the positive side, midfielder Abdu Dafe served his suspension and will be available.

Sporting CP team overview
Sporting CP came into the season after a good last one, despite finishing trophyless. This year, the Lions had a solid start across competitions. However, recently, they had some questionable results, at best, having lost to LASK at home in the Champions League and Academico Viode in the domestic league. At the moment, the Lions are in 3rd place with 18 points, but already eight points away from FC Porto, which have a 100% win rate.
Some people suggest that Rodrigo Zalazar Martinez and Zeno Debast's injuries are the reason for their worse results in recent games. According to credible sources, both should remain sidelined with their injuries, along with Nuno Santos, who is out with a long-term injury.

Prediction
Casa Pia have had problems offensively throughout the season, but managed to score fairly regularly in recent games. They scored in back-to-back games against FC Alpendorada and Estrela while also scoring in four of the past five, including the game against FC Porto. We believe they could score against Sporting CP, which had one clean sheet in the past seven games.
Sporting CP scored in each of their 13 games across competitions and should score at least once in this game as well. Moreover, they have been great for a BTTS - YES bet, as we saw both teams scoring in ten of their 13 games across competitions.
Considering all the above, the both teams to score bet is the safest option for this Liga Portugal tie.
3 Reasons why we should see both teams scoring
- Casa Pia scored in four of the past five games
- Sporting CP scored in all 13 games across competitions
- Both teams scored in ten out of Sporting's 13 games
