Prediction: 0-1
Portimonense
A spot in the Taca de Portugal last 16 will be at stake when Penafield and Portimonense face each other at Estadio Municipal 25 de Abril on Friday. Penafiel booked their place in the last 32 by beating SB Castelo Branco 2-1, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against Portimonense. Pedro Ribeiro should stick to the 3-4-3 formation with experienced attacker Roberto up front.
Paulo Sergio’s troops, on the other hand, set up a meeting with Penafiel by beating Oliveirense on penalties. The Primeira Liga side did well to beat Belenenses 2-0 before the international break, and seeing that they shocked Benfica in Lisbon last month, we are tempted to put our money on the visiting team. A man to keep an eye on in the away team will be fit-again Japan international Shoya Nakajima, who found the net in the triumph over O Belem.
