BetGenius backs Sintrense or Draw (Double Chance) at 70% confidence — a solid call. Total goals: Under 2.5 Goals.
Caldas host Sintrense in the 1/128-finals of the Taça de Portugal, bringing together two sides experiencing contrasting runs of form in their recent outings.
Caldas enter this cup fixture seeking a turnaround after failing to record a victory in their last five matches, drawing 0-0 with Lusitano Évora 1911 and 2-2 against Academica while suffering defeats to Louletano (2-4), CF Os Belenenses (0-1), and 1º Dezembro (1-2). Their defensive unit has conceded nine goals across that span, posing a challenge ahead of knockout football.
In contrast, Sintrense arrive with momentum, remaining unbeaten across their previous five matches with three wins and two draws. Recent results include a 4-0 victory over Aljustrelense, a 2-2 draw with Portel, a 0-0 stalemate against Benfica B, and earlier wins against Portimonense B (2-1) and Atlético Malveira (2-0). Sintrense will aim to carry this positive scoring run into this single-leg knockout encounter.
Caldas have won 2 of the last 3 meetings.
