It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Segunda Liga. That game was also an away game, at Académica. 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.

Vilafranquense are struggling to avoid relegation.
