The Portuguese League Cup draws closer to crowning a champion, with the semi-finals set to take place at a neutral venue, featuring Porto and Academico Viseu. The winner of this match will book their ticket for a final showdown against either Arouca or defending champions, Sporting, who will play in the other semi-final. Porto is currently in third place in Liga Portugal and managed to keep the pressure on the league leaders after coming away with a 1-0 win over Vitoria in their last match on Saturday. They are enjoying a good run of form recently, unbeaten in their last five matches with four wins and a draw, while managing to win 12 of their last 15 matches in all competitions. Porto has been the dominant side in this fixture in recent years, having not lost to Viseu in their last four encounters. They will expect to maintain that record and overcome their lower-division opposition with relative ease.
Academico Viseu is the massive underdog in this match and will come into this match with nothing to lose. Often, being the underdog results in the pressure being taken off the players, and they tend to play more freely, which is what Viseu will be hoping for in this match. Their opposition may also make several changes that could work in Viseu’s favour. Viseu has been performing well in the second tier, extending their unbeaten run to 20 following their 1-1 draw to Nacional last weekend. They have shown already this season that they can score freely, registering a goal in every game this season. Academico Viseu will know that it will take something incredible to come away with a win in this match, but they should give the Porto defense a few problems along the way.
