Porto
Gil Vicente and Porto take on each other at Estadio Cidade de Barcelos in the Taca de Portugal quarter-finals. Gil Vicente aim to bounce back from a 1-0 loss to Gil Vicente, with the team eyeing their first win of 2021. Os Galos survived Academico Viseu in the last 16, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry in Thursday’s football match. The Dragons, on the other hand, aim to build on the Primeira Liga win over Farense.
Porto are eager to go all the way in the Taca de Portugal, and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at Gil Vicente. Even though Baro, Evanilson, Luis Diaz, Nanu, and Sergio Oliveira have been tested positive for coronavirus, we are tempted to put our money on the favourites. A man to watch in the away team will be Moussa Marega, who has been scoring goals for fun this term.
