National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Real or Belenenses that keep their silverware dream alive.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Real form and stats
Real have not come this way in the Taça De Portugal without some hard work on the way, more precisely defeating AD Portomosense and Lusitania. Real was eliminated in the 3rd round last season in the Taça De Portugal.Only two 2. Division: Group G home games for Real so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 1 draw and 0 defeat. The Real fans aren't used to losing league-games here at Estádio do Real SC and will expect new points from this game. Real has played 33 games in a row here without a defeat.
Real travelled for their previous game, a trip to Fontinhas that ended 1-1. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Ideal (1-2).
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Real at home in the league. 3 on target and 2 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
Belenenses form and stats
Last season their Taça De Portugal adventure ended in the 4th round.Things could have gone better for Belenenses in their Primeira Liga away matches, but 4 points from 3 games is all right.
There were no winners in Belenenses's previous match, a Primeira Liga home game that ended 0-0 vs Rio Ave. Preceding that match was the 1-1 draw at home vs Farense.
Goals are few and far between in Belenenses's away league games. Only 1 goal from 3 travels. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (2 so far).
