National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Mafra or Porto that keep their silverware dream alive.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Mafra and Porto.
Mafra form and stats
Mafra was eliminated in the semi-finals last season in the Taça De Portugal. Tondela was too strong.2 victories, 2 draws and 2 defeats. That’s what Mafra have to build on here at Estádio Municipal de Mafra in the Segunda Liga.
A nice win for Mafra last time playing, versus Sporting Covilha. That was also a home game and the match ended 3-2 with Pacheco and Almeida (2) scoring for the victors.
In the game before, an away victory in the Segunda Liga match versus Torreense with a 1-0 scoreline.The Mafra fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 9 goals in 6 league matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 9 goals have been conceded.
Porto form and stats
Nothing but glory last season for Porto, as they won the Taça De Portugal.3-2-1 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Porto in their Primeira Liga matches away.
The fans enjoyed Porto's previous match versus Pacos de Ferreira, a 4-0 win played at home. As mentioned above, Porto was the only team on the pitch versus Pacos de Ferreira in their previous game, winning 4-0. This could be a tougher task. Attacker Evanilson got a player rating of 8.63 in the game. "Man of the match" Evanilson scored two goals, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.
Before that game, the win at home hosting Atletico Madrid in the Champions League (2-1). Again, the away team are huge favourites in this match and any other result would be an upset.
