National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Penafiel or Portimonense that keep their silverware dream alive.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Penafiel form and stats
Penafiel participated in Taça De Portugal the last season, where they reached the 3rd round.When playing at home in the Segunda Liga, Penafiel have managed 3 wins, 2 draws and suffered 1 defeat from 6 games. With three draws from their last three games overall it has been a case of neither great nor terrible for Penafiel.
Penafiel drew their last game, also a home match. Leixoes was the opponent, 1-1 the score.
2-2 away at Farense before that.Penafiel are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 6 goals in 6 games. Penafiel are not conceding a lot of goals here at Estádio Municipal 25 de Abril in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 4 from 6 matches.
Portimonense form and stats
Portimonense's mission in Taça De Portugal last season failed in the 3rd round.The visitors are W3-D1-L1 on the road this term. That's in the Primeira Liga.
Impressive finishing from Shoya Nakajima and Pedro Sá secured the home win 2-0 against Belenenses in their previous game. Midfield player Shoya Nakajima was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.85/10. Nakajima scored one goal, hit three key passes and dribled past the opponent 2 of 3 times.
It was a Primeira Liga defeat before that one as the away game against Sporting Braga wasn't a success with a 0-3 loss.Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Portimonense have scored 6 goals in 5 league games away. It's not easy to score on Portimonense as they have only conceded 4 goals from these away games.

Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: zero - five - five (Penafiel wins - draws - Portimonense wins). As for goals, six matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four had two or less.Top Goalscorers
