Vizela take on the visitors Chaves in the round 1 match of Portuguese League Cup. The match will be played on Tuesday, November 23rd at Estádio do Vizela (Caldas de Vizela).
Vizela thinks more about survival in Primeira. "Vizelenses" in 2021 made their way to the top division of the country - for the first time after a pause that stretched for 3.5 decades. Of course, in this case, the maximum claims were the preservation of their place in elite and this was achieved. The rookie, a de facto debutant, collected 33 points after 34 rounds, and it's good that the competition was small that season, which was enough to climb up to the 14th place - more than enough to keep the "registration". This season has been controversial for the team, but due to the victory over Pacos de Ferreira, it was already possible to take 15 points after 13 matches. This is enough to be on the 13th position at the moment.

Chaves shows himself worthy after climbing to the elite. "Flaviens" periodically remind of themselves. They have a finish in the top 5 of the Portuguese championship, and reached the cup final in 2010, (however, they lost), and even tested their strength in the international arena. But, on the other hand, at the beginning of the century, the team hung between the 2nd and 3rd divisions of the country. Yes, and now this is only a newcomer to Primeira, who did not rise directly, but through the playoffs, from 3rd place in the last season in second division. Such clubs are considered, of course, as underdogs, but Chaves is not bad so far. The newcomer started with 8 points taken in the first 5 rounds. Yes, and in October-November, for 5 last matches, they took 3 wins and 10 points. This allows you to stay at the top of the Primeira standings. True, at the same time, for the cup tournaments, so far there was not enough strength or motivation.
Judging by the history of confrontations, the clubs are quite equal in strength. Suffice it to say that all 4 recent head-to-heads, including within the framework of this season, have invariably ended in draws. The League Cup is not the most prestigious tournament, and it is difficult to guess the motivation of the participants. But Vizela plays at home, so we bet that she will win on her own field.
Prediction for the match: Vizela to win.
