National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Feirense or Leixões 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!
Feirense form and stats
Feirense participated in League Cup the last season, where they reached the 1st round.Feirense have played 6 Segunda Liga games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 1-4-1 (wins-draws-losses).
Feirense's previous match was a League Cup game also played at their own stadium, ending 4-3 versus Santa Clara. The home side are looking to continue in that form.
In the game before, 0-0 away to UD Oliveirense (League Cup). This is expected to be a close game, with Feirense perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Feirense as a small favourite), we find 13 games. Feirense has won 9 of these, drawn 2 and lost 2.
