Famalicao seems to be having one more tough season like the last 2 seasons. The first season when they got promoted was the exception here where they almost qualified for European competitions. The coach that started the season Rui Pedro Silva the ex second coach of Wolves with Nuno Espírito Santo had his first experience as main coach and it did not went well, but the decision by the president Miguel Ribeiro was really risky to be honest. He was sacked after some bad results this season and for surprise the president decided to bring back João Pedro Sousa (the coach that ended in the 6th on the first season of Famalicao since the return to the 1st League) and his impact was very good in the first game after beating Boavista by clear 4-0 and then winning against Trofense for the Portuguese Cup by 1-0. At home they are a strong and the stadium is always full and mainly against top teams like Sporting, Benfica and Porto. They will face a very motivated team with a big must win and so I cannot see Famalicao handling the pace of Sporting.

Probable line-up: Luiz Júnior; Alexandre Penetra - Mihaj - Riccieli - Francisco Moura; Pele - Colombatto - Ivan Jaime; Ivo Rodrigues - Puma Rodriguez and Jhonder Cadiz.

Sporting are having the worst season since Ruben Amorim is the coach - he is on his 3rd season. On the first one he won the League title after 18 seasons without winning for Sporting and so Ruben Amorim will be forever in the history of Sporting and the League Cup, on the last one he won the League Cup and the Supercup. This one the things did not started well, but Sporting have already some objectives that can save the season - they will fight until the end for the title, it is very hard but still possible but now they do not have margin to fail and this increases a lot the must win of Sporting for this game. The players know the importance of this game, they love the coach Ruben Amorim and so they will do everything for him to keep happy on the club. Nuno Santos is the only absence for this game due to an injury felt against Frankfurt for Champions League.

Probable line-up: Adan; Pedro Porro - Jeremy St Juste - Coates - Matheus Reis - Flávio Nazinho; Ugarte - Morita; Marcus Edwards - Pedro Gonçalves And Paulinho.

法马里乔似乎又要经历一个艰难的赛季了，就像过去的两个赛季一样。第一个赛季，他们获得了晋升，这是一个例外，他们几乎获得了参加欧洲比赛的资格。本赛季开始的教练鲁伊·佩德罗·席尔瓦，前狼队主教练努诺Espírito桑托有他第一次担任主力教练的经验，这并不顺利，但总统米格尔·里贝罗的决定真的很冒险，说实话。他在本赛季一些糟糕的成绩后被解雇了，令人惊讶的是总统决定请回João佩德罗·索萨(这位教练在法马里考回到甲级联赛后的第一个赛季的第6赛季结束)，他的影响非常好，在葡萄牙杯的第一场比赛中以4-0击败博阿维斯塔，然后以1-0战胜特罗芬瑟。在主场，他们是一支强大的球队，球场总是座无虚席，主要是面对像竞技、本菲卡和波尔图这样的顶级球队。他们将面对一支非常有动力的球队，而且必须要赢下一场比赛，所以我不认为法马里考能驾驭里斯本的节奏。

可能的阵容:路易斯Júnior;Alexandre perca - Mihaj - Riccieli - Francisco Moura;贝利-科伦巴托-伊万·杰米;Ivo Rodrigues - Puma Rodriguez和Jhonder Cadiz。

自从鲁本·阿莫里姆担任教练以来，竞技正在经历最糟糕的赛季——这是他的第三个赛季。第一个赛季，他在竞技队18个赛季没有获得冠军后，赢得了联赛冠军，因此鲁本·阿莫里姆将永远留在竞技队和联赛杯的历史上，最后一个赛季，他赢得了联赛杯和超级杯。这场比赛开局并不好，但竞技已经有了一些可以拯救本赛季的目标——他们将为冠军战斗到最后，这是非常困难的，但仍然有可能，但现在他们没有失败的余地，这增加了竞技必须赢得这场比赛。球员们知道这场比赛的重要性，他们爱教练鲁本·阿莫里姆，所以他们会尽一切努力让他在俱乐部保持快乐。努诺·桑托斯是本场比赛唯一缺席的球员，因为他在欧冠对阵法兰克福的比赛中受伤。

可能的阵容:Adan;佩德罗-波罗-杰里米-圣贾斯特-科茨-雷伊斯- Flávio纳济尼奥;Ugarte -森田;马库斯-爱德华兹-佩德罗Gonçalves还有保利尼奥。
