Analysis Penafiel

The home team plays their second match in Group A, after the (1‑0) win in their first match for this group stage, against Tondela. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 4 draws and 8 losses in away matches, with 20 goals scored and 26 conceded; against 8 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses at their stadium, with 24 goals scored and 15 conceded. They come to this match after a away win against Mortágua by (2‑3), after extended time. Penafiel has won 5, tied 2 and lost 3 of the last 10 home matches. Their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches. In the last 7 home matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 3 of their 7 goals between minutes (16'‑30').

Penafiel's team starts for this motivated match after having passed the next round of the Portuguese Cup, beating Mortágua away from home by 2-3: in extra time. To reach the group stage of the League Cup, the men of the house had to overcome Tondela and Académico de Viseu in the first round. Usually the home coach Miguel Leal acts in a 4-4-2 with Gleison and Pires being the most offensive references of the team. The experienced striker Pires is Penafiel's top scorer with 5 goals in 9 official games. For this match the local mister cannot count on Marcel and Vasco Braga, players recovering from injury.

Confirmed Lineup: Luís Ribeiro, João Paulo, Felipe Macedo, Inácio, Capela, Rafa Sousa, Romeu Ribeiro, Ludovic, Yuri Araújo, Gleison, Pires.
Coach: P. Braço Forte Russiano.

Analysis Braga

The away team had direct access to this group stage, so they will play their first match in this edition of the competition. This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 8 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses in away matches, with 18 goals scored and 14 conceded; against 7 wins, 5 draws and 3 losses at their stadium, with 27 goals scored and 19 conceded. In their last match, for the UEFA Europa League, they got a home tie against Slovan Bratislava by (2‑2). In the last 10 away matches Sporting Braga has won 6, tied 2 and lost 2. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches. In 13 matches, they have conceded the first goal 5 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

Braga comes for this match after a draw, 2-2, against Slovan, in a match for the Europa League group stage. However, it is important to note that the Braga club does not pass a brilliant phase of the season, having won only 4 of the last 10 official matches. Still, Braga's game model is very interesting, as it benefits the maintenance of ball possession and organized attacks: André Horta is one of the main responsible for creating and organizing the offensive process. On the other hand, Ricardo Horta is Braga's top scorer with 5 goals scored. Out of this game are Wilson Eduardo, Tormena, Tiago Sá and Raúl Silva, all with physical problems.

Confirmed Lineup: Matheus, Caju, Bruno Viana, Ricardo Esgaio , Pablo Santos, Fransérgio, João Palhinha, João Novais, Ricardo Horta , Rui Fonte, Galeno.
Coach: R. Gomes Duarte.
