In this round of the Taça De Portugal, Penafiel host Leca. Two teams from different league levels meet in a cup game where there are no points to collect, only a result to advance. Penafiel just lost their latest league match, while Leca are doing well in their own league. Penafiel's form in their second division has been up and down, but at home they still score consistently. Leca, meanwhile, have won three in a row across all competitions, their attack is clicking, and they have scored two or more goals in several recent matches. This game should be open and end-to-end from the start, because both sides score and concede fairly often, especially late in games, where the two teams concede as much as 23% and 27% of all the goals they let in. If either side gets the first goal, the game is likely to flow into a trade of punches rather than sitting back and waiting.
