155%(1.72)
X30%(3.40)
215%(4.99)

The hosts possess an advantage in offensive quality, averaging 1.4 goals per match in home fixtures with an xG of 1.36, while Sporting Covilhã produces only 0.8 goals and an xG of 0.91 on the road. The visitors have a poor away record (20% wins, 40% matches without scoring) and a negative goal difference of -5 in away matches. Both teams show identical form in the last five matches (1.6 PPG, ddlww), which might suggest a close contest; however, the home advantage and superior offensive and defensive statistics of Atlético CP favor a home victory. Covilhã's relatively high draw percentage away (30%) and their ability to keep clean sheets (30%) justify a moderate probability of a points split.
