This Taça De Portugal tie has a story to tell before kick-off, as Leixões previously travelled to Vianense and came away with a 2-0 win in this competition in 2024. This time, though, the context is different: the two teams are not in the same league and their recent form has gone in opposite directions. Vianense reached this round by winning their latest cup match 2-1, but their overall league form is still not settled. Leixões, meanwhile, have just thrashed the opposition at home in the league 3-0 and are unbeaten in several matches in a row, with their defence clearly tighter of late. The game is likely to take the shape of Leixões dominating possession and pushing high up the pitch, while Vianense sit back and wait to counter. If the hosts can hold out for long, the game could drag on, but the visitors' superior quality in both attack and defence should allow them to control the situation and close the game out with a clear margin.
