Vitória SC vs Casa Pia AC

Both sides arrive at this one in the lower half of the Primeira Liga table, making it an early chance to steady the ship rather than a clash of contenders. For Vitória Guimarães, it's about building on a rare bright spot; for Casa Pia, it's simply about ending a miserable start to the campaign. Vitória Guimarães, now under new boss Tiago Margarido, opened with defeats to Arouca and Sporting before edging Nacional 1-0 at home, with Ndoye among their early scoring threats. Casa Pia have had it tougher still, losing to Marítimo, suffering a heavy 7-0 home defeat to Benfica, and falling 2-0 at Gil Vicente without finding the net at all, leaving forwards like Jérémy Livolant and Kelian Nsona searching for form. The head-to-head has been tight over nine meetings since 2021, though Vitória Guimarães have won three of the last five. Our prediction: 2-0
