Mafra
Tondela play host to Mafra at their Estadio Joao Cardoso in the Taca de Portugal semi-finals, first leg. Tondela booked their place in the semis by beating Rio Ave after extra-time, and they are seen as favourites to beat the Liga Portugal 2 side as well. Brazil international Dos Anjos is pushing for a start after scoring as a substitute in a 2-1 loss to Famalicao, while Goncalves should miss out with injury.
Mafra, on the other hand, set up a meeting with Tondela by beating Portimonense 4-2 on the road. The visitors aim to give fans yet another reason for celebration, and given their attacking potential, both teams to score betting option should be considered. It has to be noted that the two teams have never met before in the Portuguese Cup. Dutch striker Stevey Okitokandjo is widely expected to lead the line for the visitors.
