Prediction: 0-1
Famalicao
Estadio do Mar will host Tuesday’s Taca de Portugal match between Leixoes and Famalicao. The Liga Portugal 2 side suffered a dip in form, with the team losing to both BSAD (0-2) and Leixoes (0-1) in the last two league matches, and it is no surprise the odds for away win have been dropping. All Kiki, Zugbayou, and Morais are pushing for a start as boss Vitor Martins should opt to make changes to the team that suffered the loss to Moreirense at the weekend.
The Primeira Liga outfit, on the other hand, did well to beat Vizela in their last league fixture. Famalicao are eyeing their third consecutive win over Leixoes, and we predict that the visitors are going to prove their worth on the field. Both Fonseca and Simoes should miss out with injuries for the visiting side.
