Prediction: 2-0
Amarante
Gil Vicente will look to book their spot in the Taca de Portugal quarter-finals when they take on Amarante at their Estadio Cidade de Barcelos. Os Galos aim to recover from a 1-0 loss to Farense and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at Campeonato de Portugal side. Both Fujimoto and Miro are expected to return to the starting XI, while the likes of Alipour, Depu, Kritsyuk, and Pedro Tiba should miss out with injuries.
The lower-league side, on the other hand, defeated AD Marco thanks to Elias Correa’s late goal at the weekend, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against Gil Vicente, who have been producing fine displays at home of late. There are no fresh injury worries for the visiting team ahead of the trip to Barcelos. The two sides meet for the first time in the Portuguese Cup.
