Fourth-placed Sporting Lisbon will hope to keep their top-three push in tact when they visit city rivals seventh-placed Casa Pia this weekend. Casa Pia have 38 points and are looking to climb as high as fifth, which is currently three points adrift. They have been inconsistent with their recent form though, winning two and losing three of their last five league games, alternating the results. It is their scoring record that has left them high and dry as Casa Pia’s 23 goals is better than just five clubs coming into this ground. The negatives of such poor scoring have been offset by their impressive defensive record, though. The hosts have conceded only 27 goals which is the fifth-best defensive record of the league, bettered by only the top-four clubs. They can be a tricky opponent at home having won three of their last four home league matches but Sporting Lisbon could be a grade above.

Sporting start this round five points behind third-placed Braga which gives them enough incentive to keep winning. They are almost guaranteed to finish in the top-four but doing that in the top-three will be the objective now. They are in the midst of an impressive run, winning five and drawing one of their last six league games so the morale is likely to be high. It is equally good on the road with Sporting winning three of their last four away league matches. With the three wins coming by a slender one-goal margin and two seeing a 1-0 scoreline, a tight match could be in the offing here.
