The league table is allowed to rest as Academico Viseu and Porto battle for Taça De Portugal honors in this first Semi-finals leg of two fixtures.

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Primeira Liga. That game, against Vitoria Setubal, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Porto.

Porto have an excellent away record in the Primeira Liga so far with 7-2-1 from 10 games. The mentioned statistics is only from the league, looking at the Taça De Portugal stats, they have 4 wins, 0 draws and 0 losses both home and away. The away team travel with confidence. Not since the Gil Vicente game have they lost an away game, meaning Porto has taken points from nine away matches in a row.

Two travels in a row for Porto, whose manager S. Marceneiro Conceição could celebrate last time after the Primeira Liga win against Vitoria Setubal. Prior to that match, a home win 2-1 against Gil Vicente in the Primeira Liga.
