Casa Pia host Porto in a Liga Portugal fixture on Saturday, September 12, 2026. Kick-off is scheduled for 17:00 at Estádio Pina Manique in Lisboa. The sides enter the match from opposite ends of the standings: Casa Pia are 18th after collecting one point from five league games, while Porto lead the competition with five victories from five. The hosts are still searching for their first goal and win of the campaign, whereas the visitors will be looking to respond after a 2-0 defeat against Manchester City on September 8. Porto are strong favorites based on their domestic form, but Casa Pia’s goalless draw against Vitória Guimarães offers the home side some encouragement before this demanding assignment.

Casa Pia Recent Form and Key Statistics

Casa Pia have opened their Liga Portugal campaign with no wins, one draw and four defeats. They have averaged 0.0 goals scored and 2.2 goals conceded per match, highlighting the imbalance between their defensive workload and attacking production. Their most recent result was a 0-0 draw away to Vitória Guimarães on September 6, which ended a run of four consecutive league losses and delivered their first point of the season.

That draw required a determined defensive performance. Ivan Mandić replaced the injured André Gomes in the 31st minute and produced several important saves. Casa Pia created little apart from a few set-piece situations, but they resisted sustained pressure and protected the clean sheet. The performance followed a narrow 1-0 home defeat against Moreirense, a match in which the hosts showed improvement but were again unable to convert their opportunities.

The lack of goals remains Casa Pia’s clearest concern. They have failed to score across their first five league matches, while their last-five record stands at one draw and four defeats. Their games have also regularly started cautiously, with at least one team failing to score before half-time in 29 of Casa Pia’s last 31 matches. Five of their last 24 Liga Portugal fixtures have ended without a goal.

Defensive organization therefore appears especially important against the league leaders. Pedro Rosas, André Sousa and Kaly were among Casa Pia’s strongest performers against Vitória Guimarães, while João Rego and Selvi Clua contributed in midfield. Clua has started three consecutive matches. Patrick Sequeira and Jérémy Livolant have continued working separately from the main squad.

Porto Recent Form and Key Statistics

Porto have made a perfect domestic start, recording five wins from five Liga Portugal matches. Their league averages of 2.2 goals scored and only 0.2 conceded per game underline their strength at both ends of the pitch. Across their last five matches in all competitions, they have registered four victories and one defeat, scoring an average of 1.8 goals and conceding 0.6.

The visitors’ most recent league outing ended in a 2-1 comeback victory over Moreirense. Porto conceded first and delivered a subdued opening half, but improved considerably after the interval to turn the match around. Their winning run was then interrupted by Manchester City, who defeated them 2-0. Porto did not direct a shot on target in that game, with both goals arriving during the second half after Diogo Costa had made several interventions earlier in the contest.

Their wider Liga Portugal record remains highly convincing. Porto have scored at least once in each of their last 28 league matches, including each of their previous 13 away fixtures in the competition. They have avoided defeat in 26 of their last 28 Liga Portugal games and have not been behind at half-time in 26 of those 28 matches. Away from home, Porto have led at the break in six of their last ten fixtures.

Jan Bednarek is available again after serving a suspension in the Champions League match and is expected to renew his defensive partnership with Jakub Kiwior. Zaidu Sanusi is injured, while Victor Froholdt, Oskar Pietuszewski and Samu Aghehowa are also listed among the absentees, although they are moving closer to unrestricted training. Vasco Sousa and André Miranda remain longer-term absences. In attack, Gabri Veiga is among Porto’s leading scorers, while Borja Sainz, André Silva and William Gomes have each scored twice. Santi Giménez is still waiting for his first Porto goal.

Casa Pia vs Porto Match Analysis

The statistical contrast gives Porto a clear advantage. Casa Pia have not scored this season and are conceding an average of 2.2 goals per league game, while Porto have won every domestic fixture and allowed just 0.2 goals per match. The stated match probabilities reinforce that gap, assigning Porto a 73% chance of victory, compared with 18% for a draw and 9% for a Casa Pia win.

Casa Pia are likely to draw confidence from their clean sheet at Vitória Guimarães, particularly after Ivan Mandić’s influential display. Their immediate challenge will be maintaining that defensive concentration while finding a way to threaten a Porto side that has conceded very little in the league. The hosts’ inability to score means another demanding match could develop if Porto establish control early.

Porto, meanwhile, have a strong opportunity to return to winning form after their European defeat. Their sequence of scoring in 28 consecutive Liga Portugal matches supports the expectation that the visitors will create chances, and their record of avoiding half-time deficits indicates consistent control during the opening stages. Casa Pia have won one of the five matches covered by the supplied head-to-head summary, losing the other four, with averages of 0.6 goals scored and 2.0 conceded. The latest meeting finished 2-1 on February 2, 2026.

A low-scoring contest is possible given Casa Pia’s attacking record, with the supplied figures assigning a 51% probability to under 2.5 goals and a 63% probability to both teams not scoring. Nevertheless, the clearest overall conclusion comes from Porto’s perfect league record, reliable away scoring sequence and major advantage in both attacking and defensive averages.
