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

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Action has already taken place for Boavista in League Cup as they have defeated Maritimo to reach the 2nd Round. Boavista was eliminated in the 2nd round last season in the League Cup.

Portimonense form and stats

The traveling awayteam has defeated Academica in order to reach 2nd round of League Cup. Last season their League Cup adventure ended in the group stage.

Portimonense have only collected 12 points from their away games in the Primeira Liga, after 3-3-11 (17 played). Portimonense seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

Portimonense aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 250 league minutes without a goal. Fabricio was the last player to find the net.

Portimonense are travelling after their nice 2-1 home win in the League Cup against Academica.

Ahead of that game was the 0-0 draw at home against Sporting Braga in the Primeira Liga.

The attacking power of Portimonense when travelling is not overwhelming with 14 goals scored from 17 league matches away. As opposed to that, Portimonense have seen the ball go into their own net 24 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: four wins for Boavista, one draw and five wins for Portimonense. Over 2,5 goals: four times; under 2,5 goals: six games.
