Team News: Casa Pia
The Casa Pia boss Gonçalo Santos has no fitness concerns at all coming into this game with a completely healthy squad available to select from.
We think that Os Gansos (The Geese) may well kick off with a 3-4-3 system this time, utilising Ricardo Batista, Joao Nunes, Nermin Zolotic, Duplexe Tchamba, Gaizka Larrazabal, Angelo Neto, Telasco Segovia, Leonardo Lelo, Nuno Moreira, Felippe Cardoso and Yuki Soma.

Team News: Chaves
Chaves boss Moreno Teixeira has to currently contend with reduced team options. Cafú Phete (unknown injury), Sandro Cruz (unknown injury) and Bruno Rodrigues (unknown injury) will not be playing here.
We believe Chaves seem most likely to play in a 4-3-3 lineup, starting Hugo Nogueira, Carraca, Ygor, Vasco Fernandes, Junior Pius, Kelechi Nwakali, Dario Essugo, Raphael Guzzo, Ruben Ribeiro, Hector Hernandez and Joao Correia.
