Tondela is doing a solid and comfortable season so far after the impressive start by winning the european Santa Clara by 3-0. After that 1st win they 5 loses in a row and the problems started to arise. In the last 3 matches for the league Tondela have 2 losses and won the last game by 4-2 against the weakest team of the league Maritimo, but that game was weird as Tondela started winning 3-0 with 3 penalties scored by Joao Pedro. They were playing better in the beginning of the season, but now the coach decided to change some ideas and they are so much more defensive. Their last game for the Portuguese Cup was against Camacha and Tondela had a lot of problems to eliminate Camacha and just scored the winning goal in the 90+ minutes. Now they wil face a very experienced team with a very experienced coach that already won this competition with Aves against Sporting in the final. I think that Tondela will make some changes comparing to their last game and will face big problems against a really competitive team and aggressive. They will play with some young players and some of them are very slow and will face one of the fastest winger in Portugal, the winger formed on Sporting and Guimaraes Jefferson Encada. They concede a lot of chances to the opponents as they try to dominate the whole game pressing high.

Probable line-up: Babacar Niasse; Bebeto - Sagnan - Eduardo Quaresma - Khacef; Tiago Dantas - Pedro Augusto - Arcanjo; Rafael Barbosa - Salvador Agra and Boselli.

Leixoes had a fantastic start and were one of the best teams playing in the first 4 matches. They lost against Rio Ave but they dominated almost the whole game and Rio Ave only score against the game and Leixoes could had an amazing chance by penalty and should be red card to Rio Ave as the defender cut the ball with his hand above the line. After that game the team decreased a bit their performance as they applied 3 disciplinary punishments to 3 important players, the best goalscorer Wendel, Jefferson Encada and to Sapara. Both are almost in all starting XI and are very important but the team spent some games adapting to their misses but now all players are back and able to play this game. They have only 1 absence, the young midfielder Helder Morim who in my opinion has a a lot of talent but will be replaced by another big player and captain Fabinho who last season was the best player of Academica. They have some players in an incredible shape like Sapara and Seck, Sapara is scoring a lot of goals and Seck is the left-defender and one of the best in the league, he was formed in AS Roma and made some minutes by them. To know his talent, he was in the last game of Totti for Roma. The coach has much more experience than Pako Ayesteran, he already won a Portuguese Cup with Desportivo das Aves against Sporting CP coached by Jorge Jesus and I think that it will make the difference against a team that will make some changes.

Probable line-up: Stefanovic; Joao Amorim - Calasan - Leo Bolgado - Seck; Nduwarugira - Fabinho - Ben Traore; Jefferson Encada - Sapara and Wendel.

在以 3-0 赢得圣克拉拉的令人印象深刻的开局之后，到目前为止，通德拉正在度过一个稳定的赛季。在那场第一场胜利之后，他们连续5场失利，问题开始出现。在联赛的最近 3 场比赛中，通德拉有 2 场失利，最后一场比赛以 4-2 战胜了联赛最弱的马里蒂莫，但那场比赛很奇怪，因为通德拉开始以 3-0 领先，乔奥·佩德罗打进了 3 个点球。赛季初他们表现得更好，但现在教练决定改变一些想法，他们更加保守。他们在葡萄牙杯的最后一场比赛是对阵卡马查，而通德拉在淘汰卡马查的过程中遇到了很多问题，90分钟就打进了致胜一球。现在他们将面对一支非常有经验的球队，有一位非常有经验的教练，他已经带领阿维斯赢得了这项比赛。我认为与上一场比赛相比，通德拉会做出一些改变，并且将面临比较大的问题。他们将派上一些年轻球员一起比赛，其中一些球员速度非常慢，他们将面对葡萄牙最快的边锋之一，边锋由葡萄牙体育和吉马良斯·杰弗森·恩卡达组成。他们试图通过高位压制来统治整场比赛，因此会给对手很多机会。

雷克斯欧斯开局出色，是前4场比赛中表现最好的球队之一。他们输给了里奥阿维，但他们几乎控制了整场比赛，雷克斯欧斯有一个很好的点球机会，里奥阿维红牌罚下，因为后卫手球。在那场比赛之后，球队的表现有所下降，他们对 3 名重要球员进行了 3 次纪律处分，最佳射手温德尔、杰弗森·恩卡达和萨帕拉。两人都在首发阵容中非常重要，但球队花了一些比赛来适应他们的缺席，但现在所有球员都回来了并且能够参加这场比赛。本场只有一名缺席，年轻的中场海尔德莫里姆在我看来很有天赋，但将被另一位球员和队长法比尼奥取代，他上赛季是学院最好的球员。他们有像萨帕拉和塞克这样状态极佳的球员，萨帕拉最近取得了很多进球，塞克是左后卫，也是联盟中最好的后卫之一。教练比Pako Ayesteran更有经验，他此前也赢得了葡萄牙杯。预测本场雷克斯欧斯不败。
