This Taça De Portugal cup tie sees Chaves host Os Marialvas at home, with the hosts in Liga Portugal 2 while the visitors come from Portugal Campeonato Nacional. They are clearly at different levels, and the expected pattern is that Chaves will have more of the ball, while Os Marialvas will likely sit back and wait to counter. Chaves' league form has not been great lately. Their most recent league game was a 1-1 draw, after a lingering 0-4 defeat before that, but in the previous cup match they won 3-2. As for Os Marialvas, they are unbeaten in 5 consecutive matches and have just finished 0-0 in their latest league game, with a consistently solid defence. If Chaves score first, the game should open up more, because Os Marialvas will have to push up and play. But if the visitors can hold the 0-0 scoreline for a long time, the game will likely become one where Chaves keep possession without breaking through, and it ends with few goals.
