Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Leixões & Estoril face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the League Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
It's no vacation for neither Leixões nor Estoril as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Leixões are returning here after guesting Sao Joao Ver in a Taça De Portugal game and winning with a 1-0 scoreline.
Before that match, a Segunda Liga win away at Pacos de Ferreira.There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Leixões, as the Segunda Liga home game vs Porto II is only four days away.

A 3-5 defeat away at Gil Vicente before that.There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Estoril manager Pacheco as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Vitoria Guimaraes.
The Estoril manager Pacheco has got the team scoring on the road, with 7 away goals in 3 league matches. There are big problems for the Estoril defense as they have conceded 11 goals in 3 away games.
