National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's União de Leiria or Portimonense 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!
União de Leiria form and stats
União de Leiria have reached this Taça De Portugal stage through battling and winning against Crato and 1 Dezembro. Leiria participated in Taça De Portugal the last season, where they reached the 2nd round.OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for União de Leiria's two home games in the 2. Division: Group E so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Estádio Dr. Magalhães Pessoa.
Leiria's last game was hosting Carapinheirense and winning 3-1. Preceding that game was the away draw at Marinhense that finished 1-1.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the União de Leiria at home in the league. 4 on target and 2 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
Portimonense form and stats
They also participated in Taça De Portugal last season. This ended in the 3rd round.As the visiting team in Primeira Liga matches, Portimonense have produced an overall stat of 1-0-3 so far. Recent form does not give Portimonense much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. União de Leiria will be a tough nut to crack. Portimonense has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Portimonense, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 1-3 versus Porto. Preceding that, the 1-2 home loss versus Santa Clara.
The visitors have scored 3 goals from 4 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Portimonense's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 6 goals from these trips.
Head 2 Head
