Sporting Lisbon aims to bounce back from their recent Taca da Liga defeat as they return to Primeira Liga action against Casa Pia. Currently leading the table, Sporting boasts an impeccable home record with nine wins in nine league games at Estadio Jose Alvalade. With 45 goals scored in 18 matches, they have the best attacking record in the division.Sporting has scored 13 goals in the last three league wins so guests must be frighten before a visit to Portuguese capital .Casa Pia, on the other hand, has struggled recently, losing three of their last four Primeira Liga fixtures and slipping to 12th place in the table. Concerns about their defensive performances are heightened as they have conceded two or more goals in three of their last four league matches.In the previous four head-to-head encounters, Sporting Lisbon has dominated, winning all four clashes, including a 2-1 victory in August of the previous year. Interestingly, all four meetings saw goals from both teams.Casa Pia's defensive struggles, with no clean sheet in six successive matches, make them vulnerable against Sporting's formidable attacking line. Sporting Lisbon, whom is in my opinion best squad in Portugal at the moment, is expected to secure a convincing victory. There are no major injuries for Lions, so strongest possible squad is expected. Trincao, Edwards and Gyokeres are expected in attacking third and with them Sporting should be able to outscore guests with at least goals margin.

里斯本竞技的目标是从最近的塔卡西甲失利中恢复过来，他们将在对阵卡萨皮亚的联赛中复出。目前在积分榜上排名第一的里斯本竞技拥有无可挑剔的主场战绩，9场联赛在阿尔瓦拉德球场取得9场胜利。他们在18场比赛中打进45球，是联赛中进攻记录最好的球队。里斯本竞技在最近三场联赛胜利中打入13球，所以在做客葡萄牙首都之前，客人们一定会感到害怕。另一方面，卡萨皮亚最近表现不佳，最近四场联赛输掉了三场，排名下滑至第12位。在过去的四场联赛中，他们有三场丢了两个或更多的球，这让人们更加担心他们的防守表现。在之前的四次交锋中，里斯本竞技占据了主导地位，四次交锋都取得了胜利，包括去年8月2-1的胜利。有趣的是，在所有四次会面中，两队都取得了进球。卡萨皮亚的防守挣扎，连续六场比赛没有零封对手，使他们在面对竞技强大的进攻线时不堪一击。在我看来，里斯本竞技目前是葡萄牙最好的球队，他们有望取得一场令人信服的胜利。狮子队没有重大伤病，所以这可能是最强的阵容。Trincao, Edwards和Gyokeres被认为是第三名，有了他们，竞技应该能够以最少的进球优势超过客队。
