FC Porto will visit Vitoria Guimaraes for the first leg of their Portuguese Cup semi final tie on Wednesday. For both sides, this is their only realistic chance to end the season with silverware. Vitoria Guimaraes are coming to this game on a good run and will be very confident facing Porto. They are on four straight wins since their 2-0 home loss to Casa Pia, their only loss in nine matches. The most recent of their wins came on Saturday, a 1-0 victory over Moreirense. Jota Silva's goal was the difference in the game, the forward scoring in the fourth straight match. The hosts will bank on Jota’s form as they seek a first win over Porto in 12 matches. four home losses in the last 11 matches in this competition will however leave some jitters in the home team. One of those defeats was against FC Porto. Advancing to the semis this season already represents an improvement for Vitoria Guimaraes. Last season their bid ended in the Round of 16.
Things haven't been smooth for Porto in recent times but they can ease matters with a first leg advantage. They are on the chase for a third straight Portuguese Cup title, which means they have the best run over the last two seasons. The last time Porto lost a game in this competition was in 2021. They are on 18 straight wins in the competition and definitely come into this one as favorites. Porto recently suffered a crushing defeat to Arsenal in their Champions League elimination. They followed it with a win over Vizela but most recently suffered a 1-0 defeat at Estoril. Defeat to Estoril left the Portuguese heavyweights 10 points behind in the title race. Their chances of winning the league title are getting slimmer by the day and this remains the real chance for silverware this season. With consecutive defeats on the road, Porto will count on their run in this competition to rise again here.
