Feirense Paços de Ferreira betting prediction

The home team comes to this stage of the Taça de Portugal (8th Finals) after having eliminated: Marítimo and Mirandela. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 2 draws and 9 losses in away matches, with 11 goals scored and 21 conceded; against 6 wins, 6 draws and 3 losses at their stadium, with 23 goals scored and 15 conceded. They come to this match after a away loss against Sporting Braga by (4‑0). Feirense has won 4, tied 4 and lost 2 of the last 10 home matches. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches. In the last 6 home matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 3 of their 6 goals between minutes (61'‑75').

Feirense heads to this game with a 4-0 away defeat to Braga, registering the third straight match without winning, all for the Portuguese championship. To reach this phase of the Portuguese Cup, the locals beat the Marítimo by 0-3. In this home match, coach Nuno Manta Santos should maintain the same system of the last game, that is, the 4-2-3-1, favoring supported football and organized attacks, but in some moments of the game should privileging the counterattack. The forward João Silva is the great highlight of this team with 6 goals scored in several competitions. For this game the coach will not be able to count on Tiago Mesquita, Sampaio and Crivellaro, all injured.

Confirmed Lineup: Bruno Brigido, Bruno Nascimento, Diga, Philipe Sampaio, Tiago Gomes, Babanco, João Tavares, Marco Soares, José Valencia, Luís Machado, Paraiba.
Coach: J. Fernandes Vidigal.
