National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Real or Cova Piedade 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.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Cova Piedade have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 10-11-26 (win-draw-loss) from 47 matches.

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 FC Barreirense. Last season their Taça De Portugal adventure ended in the 3rd round.

Real have played 11 2. Division: Group G games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 6-3-2 (wins-draws-losses).

Nothing to worry about in defence for Real, as their goalkeeper has completely shut out the opponents for 270 minutes in the 2. Division: Group G.

Real's previous game was a Taça De Portugal match also played at home, ending 1-0 versus FC Barreirense. The home side are looking to build on that result.

In the match before that, Real hosted Sporting CP II and drew the 2. Division: Group G game 0-0.

Real has scored 16 league goals at home this season, in 11 matches. From these home matches, Real have conceded only 8 goals.

Cova Piedade form and stats

Cova Piedade's mission in Taça De Portugal last season failed in the 4th round.

4 wins, 6 draws and 7 losses. That’s the product of Cova Piedade playing as the away team in the Segunda Liga this season.

The Piedade goalkeeper Cleber Machado Santana is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 231 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.

The supporters enjoyed Piedade's previous game versus Casa Pia, a Segunda Liga 4-0 win played at home. As you can tell from the results above, Piedade was very dominant against Casa Pia, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 4-0 (!) with João Vieira (3) and Thabo Cele providing the goals. João Vieira certainly enjoyed Piedade's last game versus Casa Pia, appearing multiple times in the match report with three goals and the 4-0 victory.

Ahead of that match was the Segunda Liga away draw versus Vilafranquense that ended 0-0.

Piedade have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 17 league away games 20 goals have been scored. Cova Piedade's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 26 goals from these trips.

Head 2 Head

Previous two meetings with these teams: Real won zero, Cova Piedade triumphed in two and we saw zero draws. one game with over 2,5 goals, one match with under 2,5 goals.
