Santa Clara are doing a terrible season like usually every team do after some good seasons. Two seasons ago with the coach Daniel Ramos they ended in the 5th place that gave acess to UEFA Conference League play-offs. But after that season everything changed inside the club - they lost the president, the sports director that was one of the most important persons in the club Diogo Boa Alma that is now working for Casa Pia (you can see how Casa Pia is performing now with him) and most of the players like Lincoln, the best players in that moment - the top scorer Carlos JR and Morita that went to Sporting, Rafael Ramos to Corinthians. In the last season that was going pretty bad for them, the club decided to bring the coach Mario Silva that was sacked in the last season on Rio Ave due to bad results - but he was able to save them from the relegation but with some bad matches in my opinion and now the season is going terribly and no one understands how he was not sacked yet. From this competition, League Cup, they have already no chances to get qualified after losing 2 matches and 1 draw against 3 teams FROM THE 2nd LEAGUE. So, for this game they will play against a motivated team that practices very good football in my opinion.

Probable line-up: Gabriel; Calila - Paulo Eduardo - Tassano - Xavi Quintilla; Anderson Carvalho - Rodrigo Valente - Pedro Bicalho; Andrezinho - Rildo and Tagawa.

Arouca are a very good project and a stable club in the 1st League. They have a very solid structure and an amazing experienced coach Armando Evangelista. They have started this League Cup with 2 draws, first against Feirense at home by 1-1 (fair result) and then by 1-1 against Leixoes, but where in my opinion they deserved much more from that game as when they were leading by 1-0 they had 2 disallowed goals from Bukia and Sylla and then conceded the goal in a set piece. But in the last game they beat Oliveirense that was already out before that game by clear 3-0 and that gave them some hope for the qualification, but for that they need to win and hoping that Leixoes fails to beat Feirense in Santa Maria da Feira (will be a very tough match for Leixoes for sure).

Probable line-up: Joao Valido; Tiago Esgaio - Joao Basso - Opoku - Quaresma; David Simao - Soro - Alan Ruiz; Bukia - Antony and Rafael Mujica.

圣克拉拉队在经历了一个糟糕的赛季之后，就像其他球队一样。两个赛季前，在丹尼尔·拉莫斯的执教下，他们以第五名的成绩结束比赛，并获得了欧洲联盟联盟附加赛的机会。但在那个赛季之后，俱乐部内部的一切都发生了变化——他们失去了总统，俱乐部最重要的人之一的体育总监迪奥戈·博阿阿尔玛，现在为卡萨皮亚工作(你可以看到卡萨皮亚现在的表现)，大多数球员，比如林肯，当时最好的球员——最佳射手卡洛斯·JR和森塔去了体育，拉斐尔·拉莫斯去了科林蒂安。在上个赛季，他们的情况非常糟糕，俱乐部决定请上个赛季在里约热内卢大道因为糟糕的成绩而被解雇的主教练马里奥·席尔瓦——但他能够让球队免于降级，但在我看来，有一些糟糕的比赛，现在赛季进行得很糟糕，没有人知道他为什么还没有被解雇。在这次联赛杯比赛中，他们已经失去了晋级的机会，因为他们输掉了2场比赛，1平了3支乙级联赛的球队。所以，在这场比赛中，他们将对阵一支在我看来踢得非常好的球队。

可能阵容:Gabriel;卡利拉-保罗-爱德华多-塔萨诺-哈维-昆蒂拉;安德森·卡瓦略-罗德里戈·瓦伦蒂-佩德罗·比卡略;安德烈-里尔多和塔川。

阿鲁卡是一个很好的项目，在英甲是一个稳定的俱乐部。他们有一个非常坚实的结构和一个惊人的经验丰富的教练阿尔曼多埃万杰利斯塔。他们本赛季联赛杯开局2平，先是主场1-1战平费伦斯(公平的结果)，然后1-1战平莱科斯，但在我看来，他们在那场比赛中应该得到更多，因为当他们1-0领先时，布基亚和西拉的2个进球被吹掉，然后在定位球中丢球。但在上一场比赛中，他们以3-0击败了之前已经出局的Oliveirense，这给了他们一些出线的希望，但他们需要赢得比赛，并希望莱科斯不能在圣玛丽亚达费拉击败费伦斯(这对莱科斯来说肯定是一场非常艰苦的比赛)。

可能阵容:若昂·瓦利多;蒂亚戈·埃斯盖奥-若昂·巴索-奥波库-夸雷斯马;西芒-索罗-鲁伊斯;布基亚-安东尼和拉斐尔-穆希卡。
