Vitória SC B (home)
- Vitória SC B’s two central midfielders are the fulcrum of the team with Miguel Nogueira a real attacking threat from the number ten role, while captain Hugo Nunes anchors the game in front of defence and is an equally important part of the side’s transitions.
- Rodrigo Silva is a great attacking presence from either wing and is frequently involved in goals and chance creation.
- Vitória SC B have won three, drawn one and lost one of their last five Liga 3 matches and they have been a good team in the promotion phase.
Académica de Coimbra (away)
- Académica de Coimbra are a more pragmatic side under the guidance of António Barbosa.
- The visitors play with a back three and wing-backs and get plenty of width from their formation, but are more concerned with efficient set piece play and direct play than controlling the ball for long periods of time.
- The visitors have scored in every game during that period, finding the net from open play and set pieces.
- Leandro Silva stands out for Académica, ranking among their leading scorers this season and delivering crucial goals in promotion-phase matches.
