Fátima

Academico Viseu have put together a four-game winning streak across all competitions, scoring seven goals and conceding just twice in victories over Estoril, Estrela, Vitória SC, and Gil Vicente. In contrast, Fátima have lost three of their past five matches, including a 3-1 home defeat to Nazarenos and a 3-0 loss against Os Marialvas. Backing the visitors on the double chance accounts for both a win in ninety minutes and the possibility of a drawn cup tie.

Fátima hold a notable form and scoring advantage heading into this cup tie. The home side has recorded decisive victories in two of their last three home fixtures, including a 5-0 win over Atlético Malveira and a 3-1 result against Benfica Castelo Branco. In contrast, Vinhais have lost each of their last five matches, conceding three or more goals in three of those fixtures while struggling to generate consistent attack.

Fátima are undefeated in their last five matches (three wins, two draws) and have won all three recorded home encounters against Benfica Castelo Branco, including a 4-1 victory in their most recent meeting. With the visitors losing three of their last four matches, backing Fátima to win or draw offers a well-grounded hedged position.
