Offensively they are averaging 1.70 goals per game, with 1.20 conceded. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings (20%). Both teams have scored in 70% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets.

Sporting CP (all games): 5W 5D 0L across their last 10 — 2.00 points per game. Last five: W D D D W. Their attacking form is sharp — 2.10 goals per game is a high-output rate that commands respect in the goals markets. 4 clean sheets in 10 outings (40%) underlines their defensive solidity. Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market.

When travelling, Sporting CP have posted 5W 4D 1L from their last 10 away outings — 1.90 PPG. They are averaging 2.40 goals per away game — strong road scoring that makes them a threat even without home support. 5 away clean sheets from their last 10 away games (50%) — they are hard to break down on the road.

Neither side holds a meaningful form edge. The 1.90 vs 2.00 PPG split is negligible — model and market signals should carry more analytical weight for this one.

Head-to-Head

The head-to-head sample leans to Sporting CP, who have 5 wins from 5 H2H matches compared to 0 for the hosts, with 0 draws.

The 5 H2H matches in our data have been high-scoring — 4.8 goals per game on average — which backs the Over 2.5 market from the head-to-head side. The most recent of those, on 5 Oct 2024, ended Casa Pia 0–2 Sporting CP — a Sporting CP win.

The H2H data backs the away side. Sporting CP have won 5 of 5 H2H matches, and at 4.8 goals per game the goals market also points upward — the away win and Over 2.5 combination has a head-to-head case.

Trading Data

Casa Pia goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (last 58 games, 29 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 55% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 82% of the time; of the 15 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 33%; of the 13 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 31%; BTTS occurs in 45% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 28% of games (home games); they fail to score in 33% of games.

Sporting CP goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (last 58 games, 29 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 86% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 86% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 57% of those occasions; they lead at the break 67% of the time; of the 5 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 60%; BTTS occurs in 55% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 76% of games (away games); Over 3.5 in 43%; they keep a clean sheet 47% of the time.

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Casa Pia 48% versus Sporting CP 52%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Casa Pia 43% | Sporting CP 74%). There is an in-play dynamic worth noting: Casa Pia surrender their half-time lead 33% of the time, while Sporting CP have come from behind at the break to draw or win in 60% of cases — a combination that makes laying the hosts at HT a potential angle.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Casa Pia 1.32 xG and Sporting CP 1.46 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Casa Pia attack 1.027 / defence 0.832 | Sporting CP attack 1.580 / defence 0.962. League average goals — home 1.340 / away 1.108. Sporting CP have an above-average attack rating of 1.580, which lifts their away xG to 1.46. Data: built from Casa Pia's last 58 games and Sporting CP's last 58.

Result probabilities: Casa Pia 34% | Draw 26% | Sporting CP 40%. Fair-value odds: Casa Pia 2.96 | Draw 3.81 | Sporting CP 2.51. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome reaches 45%. The draw at 26% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 53% | BTTS Yes probability 57% | Total xG 2.78. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 53%/47% — the total xG of 2.78 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS Yes at 57% is only a slight lean — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Sporting CP at 40% — marginal model lean. The head-to-head data (Sporting CP 5 wins from 5 H2H matches) corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw probability of 26% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Sporting CP if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 34% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

On the goals line, Poisson's 2.78 combined xG gives a 53% probability to Over 2.5 — strong conviction, supported by recent form (Casa Pia's last 10 home games and Sporting CP's last 10 away games) averaging 2.9 goals per game and the H2H data averaging 4.8 goals per game across 5 H2H matches.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 57%. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: Casa Pia 70% (last 10 home games) | Sporting CP 50% (last 10 away games).
