Porto will host Casa Pia at the Estadio do Dragao on Sunday in the third round of the 2025-26 Primeira Liga campaign. The hosts will be keen to continue their solid start to the league season and stay on par with their rivals early in the campaign.
Porto made it two wins out of two with a comfortable 2-0 win over Gil Vicente last weekend after opening the season with a 3-0 win over Vitoria. The Dragons are only one of five teams in the Portuguese top flight who are yet to drop points after the opening two games of the season, and will need to keep the form up for much longer if they are to end their four-year wait for another league title.
Casa Pia unsurprisingly lost their opening fixture to Sporting CP but managed to pick up their first victory of the season in a 2-0 win over AVS last time out and will hope to build on that result this weekend. The visitors put together a solid campaign last year, finishing in ninth place, and will be hoping to take the next steps and push for a slightly higher finish this year.

Porto vs Casa Pia Prediction
The Dragons are strong favorites going into Sunday's fixture and will receive a huge boost from their home advantage. Porto will hope to win by a considerably large goal margin to remain close behind rivals Sporting.
Os Gansos will be optimistic to get a point this weekend against one of the league's best teams, but will need something really special to avoid defeat on the road. We expect Porto to win.
Prediction: Porto 2-0 Casa Pia
