Sporting look to bounce back v Casa Pia, strong record in favour | OneFootball

Sporting seeks to bounce back after a less positive period. The green and white team comes from a draw against Gil Vicente in the league and an elimination in the semi-finals of the League Cup against Vitória de Guimarães, a result that left its mark in the lion's locker room. To break the 'drought', Casa Pia is up next.

The geese's formation has historically been very favorable to Sporting. The lions currently boast an impressive streak of 21 consecutive victories against the Lisbon team, a record that reinforces optimism at Alvalade.

More than the results, the magnitude of the victories has also been significant, especially at home. In the 2023/24 season, for example, Sporting achieved an expressive 8-0 victory in the 19th round of a championship they would eventually win, still with Ruben Amorim.

In total, Sporting and Casa Pia have faced each other on 43 occasions, with a clearly unbalanced record: 154 goals conceded by the opposing team. It is worth noting, however, that there was a long hiatus between direct confrontations, as the two clubs practically did not meet between 1939 and 2021.

The team of Rui Borges faces Casa Pia tomorrow, Friday, January 16th. The match, counting for the 18th round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, against the team led by Álvaro Pacheco, will be played at 8:15 PM, at the Estádio José de Alvalade.
