The Vilar de Perdizes team will challenge the Porto team in a Portuguese Cup 3e ronde in Estádio Municipal Manuel Branco Teixeira Stadium, Chaves on Friday, October 20, 2023. For streaming coverage of Vilar de Perdizes vs. Porto, preview and how to watch it, see in this article.
As the hosts compete in the fourth tier of Portuguese football, Vilar de Perdizes hopes to cause a big upset against Porto, winners of the competition 19 times.
Vilar de Perdizes have started their league campaign firmly, picking up eight points from their opening six games in Group A of the Campeonato de Portugal. Despite having two league wins this season, their most convincing victory came in the previous round of the cup. Paulo Costa’s hat-trick and goals from Jhon Renteria and Andre Mendy gave Vilar de Perdizes a dominant 5-1 win over Vasco da Gama.
Since that result, Vilar de Perdizes has gone on to draw two consecutive league meetings with Limianos and Ribeirao. By avoiding defeat in their last three home games, Vilar de Perdizes will look to take full advantage of home advantage and give Porto a competitive cup tie.
On the other hand, Porto are hoping to win the Taca de Portugal for the third season in a row after they beat Braga in last season’s final to retain the trophy. Their success in the cup ensured that Porto would participate in August’s Super Cup meeting with rivals Benfica, which ultimately ended in a disappointing 3-0 defeat.
Sergio Conceicao’s side bounced back from their Super Cup defeat by embarking on a seven-match unbeaten run in all competitions, but their positive streak was brought to an abrupt halt by back-to-back defeats to Benfica and Barcelona in the Primeira Liga and Champions League respectively.
At least they managed to get a win in their last game after Evanilson’s quick ninth-minute goal gave Porto a narrow 1-0 win over Portimonense, ensuring that they went into the international break in third place.
Porto are unbeaten in 15 away games at the Taca de Portugal, and they are very confident of extending that streak against their lower league opponents. Although Porto will likely give some squad players such as Francisco Conceicao, Ivan Jaime and Danny Namaso a chance to start Friday’s Portugal cup tie, they have enough squad depth to pull off a comfortable win over their fourth-tier opponents.
Statistically and performance-wise, Porto is in a different class to Vilar de Perdizes. However, while they are playing at home, as hosts Vilar de Perdizes will certainly take advantage of the dominance of the fans who come to the Estádio Municipal Eng. Manuel Branco Teixeira, Chaves.
