National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Montalegre or Academico Viseu that keep their silverware dream alive.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Montalegre form and stats
Action has already taken place for Montalegre in Taça De Portugal as they have defeated Vila Cortez and Maria da Fonte to reach the 3rd Round. Last season their Taça De Portugal adventure ended in the 2nd round.The happy trend is alive also outside their own arena as Montalegre has won their last four matches. Two home wins in a row for Montalegre bring valid hopes of a third.
As mentioned above, Montalegre "killed" Aguia FC Vimioso in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.
Academico Viseu form and stats
The traveling awayteam has defeated Vitoria Setubal in order to reach 3rd Round of Taça De Portugal. Last season their Taça De Portugal adventure ended in the semi-finals against Porto.The story so far for the visiting team on their Segunda Liga travels is 1 win, 2 draws and 1 defeat.
Academico are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 1-1 draw at Varzim. A loss against Feirense was the result prior to that, in a Segunda Liga home game.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Academico Viseu as they have only managed to score 3 times from 4 away games in the league. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (3 so far).
