The Taca da Liga match between Estoril Praia and FC Porto will take place at Antonio Coimbra da Mota on Thursday at 1:15 am IST.
Estoril Praia and Porto are set to clash in their Taca da Liga campaign at Estadio Antonio Coimbra da Mota on Wednesday. Porto is entering the competition at the third-round stage, while Estoril has already secured a win against Leixoes.
Porto faces a pivotal stage in the season as they aim to secure a spot in the Champions League last 16 and improve their third position in Primeira Liga. Despite a recent 2-1 loss in Barcelona and a 1-0 defeat to their upcoming Taca da Liga opponents on November 3, Porto has shown overall impressive form, winning eight of their last 10 matches and keeping six clean sheets. Their recent 3-0 victory over Familicao propelled them closer to the top of the league. Manager Sergio Conceicao seeks to build momentum for crucial upcoming clashes against Shakhtar Donetsk and Sporting Lisbon.
For Estoril, the Taca da Liga provides a welcome diversion from the constant threat of relegation in Primeira Liga. Positioned fifth from the bottom, the tight relegation battle in Portugal sees the bottom seven teams separated by just three points. Estoril, having won two of their last three league games, including a notable triumph over Porto at Estadio do Dragao, is seeking to capitalize on their Taca da Liga success, particularly after a 2-1 victory over Leixoes. A win on Wednesday would not only secure their spot in the last four but also eliminate Porto from the competition.
Estoril Praia probable starting lineup: Carnes, Feltes, Alvaro, Vital, Pina, Holsgrove, Fernandes, Araujo, Guitane, J.Marques, A.Marques
Porto probable starting lineup: Costa, Sanchez, Carmo, Cardoso, Sanusi, Aquino, Varela, Grujic, Galeno, Evanilson, Martinez
