Cova da Piedade enter this fixture following a 1-1 LigaPro tied result against Feirense.

It’s not been often in recent times that Cova da Piedade have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. It will be a concern for them that Pieadenses have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 games, leaking 9 goals along the way. That sort of pattern won’t necessarily be sustained into this match, of course.

Ahead of this meeting, Cova da Piedade have not won at home in their last 4 league games. Their fans aren't happy.
