National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Belenenses or Boavista that keep their silverware dream alive.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

Belenenses form and stats

Last season, Belenenses's League Cup journey ended in the 1st round.

Belenenses's struggle is real here at Estádio Nacional with only 1 point collected from 6 Segunda Liga games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 0-1-5.

Belenenses drew their last game, 1-1 away at Sporting Covilha.

A win at home before that, as anticipated. The team were solid favourites against Machico and won 4-0.

Belenenses has scored 8 league goals at home this season, in 6 matches. Defensively there's plenty of potential for improvement as Belenenses have allowed the opposition to score 15 goals here at Estádio Nacional.

Boavista form and stats

They also participated in League Cup last season. This ended in the semi-finals.

Boavista have only collected 6 points from their away games in the Liga Portugal, after 2-0-4 (6 played).

The manager Petit was unhappy after their last game, played at their home stadium Estádio do Bessa Século XXI. Boavista suffered a 1-4 loss to Porto. Midfielder Camará was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 6.54. Camará hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

Prior to that match, the Boavista manager Petit faced defeat when travelling to Rio Ave and losing 0-1.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Boavista as they have only managed to score 5 times from 6 away games in the league. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Boavista have conceded 11 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
