Leixões and Sporting CP II have met many times in Portugal's lower leagues, and most results have been close, with draws and single-goal margins. But this time Sporting CP II arrive in different form, on a winning run and scoring heavily in their last two matches. Leixões have just lost 0-4 in the league and are on a losing run, with their defence leaking badly of late, while Sporting CP II won 3-0 in their latest match and this season have scored 13 and conceded 6 in 8 matches. The balance of readiness therefore clearly tilts toward the visitors. The game is likely to play out with Sporting CP II having the ball and pushing forward, while Leixões, who are conceding easily, may drop deep and wait for occasional counterattacks. But with the visitors' attacking quality producing consistently, they should control the game and create more chances.
