Vizela hosts FC Porto in the Taca de Portugal quarterfinals. The match will be played on Wednesday, January 12th at Estádio do Vizela (Caldas de Vizela)
Vizela was brought to the brink of destruction after severe punishment for participation in corruption schemes at the beginning of the century. The White-Blues even agreed to the status of a farm club for the neighboring Braga. And only in recent years have they become stronger. A sign of this was the return to the Primeira Liga, albeit from the 2nd place. Of course, now the main task is to gain a foothold here. Yes, Vizela does not shine but goes to its goal confidently enough and gains points regularly. Now the White-Blues can also compete in the cup. They have already eliminated three opponents, and they were not the easiest ones: Vitoria Setubal, Estrela, and the former "mother" Braga!

In the previous season, FC Porto lost the league title to Sporting Lisbon, which has shown the best football in recent years. Now there is a struggle for gold medals between these two clubs. And every point can be decisive because both the Dragons and the Lions demonstrate cool statistics! As for the Dragons, the game against Estoril almost spoiled their perfect record. The outsider unexpectedly was ahead but everything ended with a comeback victory of the favorite (3-2) and the retention of the sole leadership. At the same time, Sergio Conceicao's men managed to achieve good results in other tournaments. They looked decent in the Champions League but still were outranked by both Liverpool and Atletico Madrid (but at the same time, the Dragons won the dispute for the 3rd place against Milan). The fight for both cups goes on. In the League Cup, a pleasant victory was gained before the new year. The Dragons hammered Benfica, scoring three unanswered goals in the first half hour. Now there is a chance to reach the semifinals of the Portuguese Cup.
Most recently, on December 19th, FC Porto and Vizela played in the championship. And then there was no battle at all: Vizela lost with a score of 0-4, conceding all the goals before the break. Now it is clear that everything should end with a victory for the visitors, but which one? I think that they will win with a difference of two goals.
Prediction for the match: FC Porto to win with -1.5 handicap
