Prediction: 1-0
Nacional
A spot in the Taca de Portugal semis will be at stake when Casa Pia and Nacional face each other at Estadio Pina Manique on Thursday evening. Casa Pia experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-0 loss to Benfica, but the bookies see them as hot favourites to beat the Liga Portugal 2 side in front of home fans. Both Soma and Clayton are pushing for recalls to the starting XI, while Lelo and Leo Natel remain in the recovery room.
Os Alvinegros, on the other hand, aim to build on a 3-1 win over Torreense, but given their anything but good away record in the Portuguese second tier, home win should be considered. A man to keep an eye on in the away team will be Carlos Daniel, who scored a brace in the last league match.
