It's no vacation for neither Vilaverdense nor União Santarém as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Vilaverdense form and stats
This is not the first game this season in the Taça De Portugal for Vilaverdense, as the manager H. Carlos Batista led his troops to eliminate Berco and União Santarém, and reach the 2nd Round. Last season, Vilaverdense's Taça De Portugal journey ended in the 1st round.Vilaverdense are slowly digging their own grave here at Campo Cruz Do Reguengo with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in eleven attempts. The last victory here came in the Oliveirense match.
Vilaverdense's previous game was a Taça De Portugal match also played at home, ending 1-0 versus União Santarém. The home side are looking to build on that result. Preceding that game was the home draw versus Pedras Salgadas that ended 2-2.
União Santarém form and stats
The traveling awayteam has defeated Vilaverdense and Lourinhanense in order to reach 2nd Round of Taça De Portugal. Santarém's mission in Taça De Portugal last season failed in the 2nd round.As the visiting team in 2. Division: Group F matches, União Santarém have produced an overall stat of 0-0-1 so far. Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in ten away games in a row. It's looking increasingly bleak for Santarém who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Uniao de Leiria was the last time a defeat was avoided.
It might be tough going out on the road again for União Santarém, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-1 versus Vilaverdense. Before that one, a nice away victory 3-0 at Lourinhanense (after extra-time).
As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, União Santarém has managed 0 goals and let in 3 from 1 match.
