Santa Clara are undefeated in their last 11 home matches (Liga Portugal). Santa Clara have scored at least 2 goals in their last 3 home matches (Liga Portugal).
CD Santa Clara have lost a couple of influential players in Lincoln and Morita during the summer transfer market, but they’re not expected to dwell on those departures and are expected to have a solid season. Casa Pia AC will make their second appearance in the Primeira Liga and hopes are high among their supporters. However, they’re expected to be fighting to secure top flight competition next season. Playing at home, and with a much more experienced side in the top flight, CD Santa Clara could win their first match of the new season. 1:0
CD Santa Clara will be in full force for their first match of the season. Victor Bobsin was signed in midweek, but will have to wait for his first start with his new club as Anderson Carvalho, Valente and Ricardinho are expected to start in the middle of the park. Allano should get the nod over Barreto out wide as he’s more creative. Due to Fernando Varela’s injury, Vasco Fernandes is expected to be joined by Zolotic and Léo Bolgado at the heart of the defence. Jota Silva has left Casa Pia, which was a major blow to the team. Diogo Pinto was signed to replace him. Antoine is injured, which could pave the way for Rafael Martins to make his first appearance with his new club.
