National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's UD Oliveirense or Paços de Ferreira that keep their silverware dream alive.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
UD Oliveirense form and stats
This is not the first game this season in the Taça De Portugal for UD Oliveirense, as the manager P. Bastos Soares Ferreira led his troops to eliminate Sesimbra, and reach the 3rd Round. Last season their Taça De Portugal adventure ended in the 2nd round.UD Oliveirense have collected 4 points from their Segunda Liga home games so far after 1-1-3. Oliveirense has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager P. Bastos Soares Ferreira and the players. Game days at Estádio Carlos Osório have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for Oliveirense as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts.
Times are rough for the home team, having gone 258 minutes without scoring a league goal. J. Luiz was the last player to find the net.
The UD Oliveirense fans got no joy from their last match, a Segunda Liga game also here at Estádio Carlos Osório: A 0-1 defeat against Estoril. Heartbreak before that as UD Oliveirense lost 0-3 at Academica's place.
Oliveirense are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 5 goals in 5 games. Oliveirense have conceded 7 in these home matches.
Paços de Ferreira form and stats
Last season their Taça De Portugal adventure ended in the quarter-finals.The Primeira Liga season is young and Paços de Ferreira have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 3 away games done and still no victory. 2 draws and 1 defeat so far.
Bruno Costa, Dor Jan and Stephen Eustáquio scored in Ferreira's previous match, the home game against Porto that ended 3-2. Preceding that game, the 1-1 draw paying a visit to Nacional.
The visitors have scored 2 goals from 3 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. 3 goals have been conceded by Ferreira in these games.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last two meetings between these two teams are: one win for Oliveirense, zero draws and one win for Paços de Ferreira. Over 2,5 goals: one time; under 2,5 goals: one game.Top Goalscorers
