Analysis & Preview

Casa Pia travel to Estádio da Madeira to take on Nacional in Primeira Liga (matchday 21). The game is scheduled for Sunday 8 February 2026 at 15:30 UK time.

Form Analysis

Looking at their last 10 matches, Nacional stand at 2W 3D 5L — 0.90 PPG. Last five: L D L W L. Offensively they are averaging 1.70 goals per game, with 1.60 conceded. 1 clean sheet from 10 outings (10%). Both teams have scored in 80% of their matches — an extremely high rate that makes BTTS Yes a well-supported standalone angle from their form alone.

In front of their own supporters, Nacional have posted 3W 2D 5L from their last 10 home games — 1.10 PPG. At home they are averaging 1.90 goals scored and 2.00 conceded per game. Both teams have scored in 70% of their home games — an outstanding BTTS rate that is a key data point for this fixture.

Across their last 10 games, Casa Pia have recorded 2W 4D 4L — 1.00 PPG. Last five: D L L D W. Their scoring rate of 1.10 per game is modest, conceding 1.70 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 1 clean sheet from 10 outings (10%). Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market.

Casa Pia's form when playing away from home: 3W 1D 6L across their last 10 road games (1.00 PPG). Away from home they average 1.00 goals scored and 2.00 conceded per game.

The form comparison is too close to call — 0.90 PPG (Nacional) versus 1.00 (Casa Pia). When the figures are this level, no pick can be reliably derived from recent results alone.

H2H Record

There is little to separate the sides in our head-to-head data. From 3 H2H matches, Nacional have won 2, Casa Pia 1, with 0 draws — a balanced record that offers no clear steer on its own. With only 3 H2H matches to go on, treat this as a light input.

The 3 H2H matches in our data averaged 2.3 goals per game — a neutral rate that gives no strong lean on the goals market from the H2H alone. The most recent of those, on 30 Aug 2025, ended Nacional 2–0 Casa Pia — a Nacional win.

The head-to-head data offers no strong steer in either the result or goals markets. Form, the model and current market pricing should carry more weight for this fixture.

In-Play Data

Nacional trading profile (last 54 games, 26 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 69% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 87% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 67% of those occasions; of the 14 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 29%; BTTS occurs in 54% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 65% of games (home games); they fail to score in 35% of games.

Casa Pia trading profile (last 54 games, 26 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 69% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 80% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 53% of those occasions; of the 12 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 42%; of the 18 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 28%; BTTS occurs in 50% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 54% of games (away games); they fail to score in 32% of games.

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Nacional 48% versus Casa Pia 56%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Nacional 48% | Casa Pia 48%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Nacional 2.40 xG and Casa Pia 1.32 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: Nacional attack 1.270 / defence 1.208 | Casa Pia attack 0.865 / defence 1.208. League average goals — home 1.561 / away 1.264. Nacional carry an above-average attack rating of 1.270 — their 2.40 xG reflects attacking quality above the league norm. Casa Pia's defence rating of 1.208 (above 1 = concedes more than average) is pushing Nacional's projected output up. Nacional's defence rating of 1.208 (above 1 = concedes more than average) is pushing Casa Pia's projected output up. Data: built from Nacional's last 54 games and Casa Pia's last 54.

Result probabilities: Nacional 61% | Draw 19% | Casa Pia 20%. Fair-value odds: Nacional 1.63 | Draw 5.31 | Casa Pia 5.01. The model has a clear lean to Nacional (61%) — a 41pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 72% | BTTS Yes probability 67% | Total xG 3.72. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 72% — a total xG of 3.72 means the expected score alone exceeds the 2.5 threshold, making the Over not just likely but structurally supported by both sides' attack/defence profiles. BTTS Yes at 67% — both xG figures (2.40 / 1.32) are high enough that each side is projected to find the net.

Analysis Verdict

On the Poisson output, Nacional are the pick at 61% — clear model lean. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 19% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.

On the goals line, Poisson's 3.72 combined xG gives a 72% probability to Over 2.5 — reasonable conviction, supported by recent form (Nacional's last 10 home games and Casa Pia's last 10 away games) averaging 3.5 goals per game.

Poisson assigns a 67% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: Nacional 70% (last 10 home games) | Casa Pia 40% (last 10 away games).
