Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Penafiel & Moreirense face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the League Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
The visiting Moreirense played their last game only three days ago, a Segunda Liga match. That game was also an away game, at Tondela. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
Penafiel form and stats
Penafiel was eliminated in the group stage last season in the League Cup.The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Segunda Liga this season. Penafiel have only managed 1 win, 3 draws and 2 losses from their games here at Estádio Municipal 25 de Abril.
A strong away win for Penafiel against Benfica II the last match, as Oliveira and Braga were on target. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of da Rocha when Braga scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 77th minute.
Preceding that match was a Segunda Liga defeat to Farense (0-2).The Penafiel fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 7 in 6 matches. Penafiel's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 7 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
