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

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

Mafra form and stats

Mafra participated in Taça De Portugal the last season, where they reached the 2nd round.

With 1 Segunda Liga win, 4 draws and 2 defeats from their home games, Mafra are certainly not brimming with confidence. This match is a Taça De Portugal match, and the hometeam has the total statistics 3 wins, 0 draws and 0 losses in this competition.

The home supporters saw a 2-2 draw versus Academica in the Segunda Liga last time out and are looking for a win here. A disappointing finish for Mafra in their match versus Academica as their 2-0 lead was destroyed and replaced with a 2-2 full time score.

Before that match, a Segunda Liga win away at Rio Ave.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Mafra here at Estádio Municipal de Mafra in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (5 from 7 games). On the other hand, Mafra have conceded 7 goals.

Moreirense form and stats

Last season their Taça De Portugal adventure ended in the 8th finals.

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Moreirense so far with only 3 points returning home. The records show 0-3-4 (win-draw-lose).

The attacking players of Moreirense have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 180 minutes.

Two away games in a row for Moreirense, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-1 versus Boavista in the Primeira Liga. Defender Rosić was the best team player with a rating of 7.6. Rosić hit one key pass and won 8 of 12 duels.

The game before that, in the Primeira Liga, was lost at home, a 0-1 defeat against Portimonense.

The attacking power of Moreirense when travelling is not overwhelming with 4 goals scored from 7 league matches away. Moreirense have conceded 12 goals in these games.
