Amarante FC
- Amarante FC come into this game off the back of a 2-1 defeat away to CD Tondela in Liga Segunda 2026/2027, but their 3-1 win over Vitoria Guimaraes B away from home is still fresh in the memory and suggests that they can get the job done here.
- The hosts are a relatively new team, having been put together by Eurico Couto since 1st July 2025, but his approach has been to set up a structure and get the players to do their job.
- They don't score many goals or concede too many, preferring to stay compact and defend in a block, while their best chances are made when they can transition in a controlled manner or at set-pieces.

- Lusitania FC are a more likely winner with odds at 3.35, arriving in good form after beating FC Porto B 2-0 in Liga Segunda 2026/2027.
