Setúbal enters this game motivated after a 2-1 home win against Braga, to count for the League Cup: Gonçalo Paciência scored twice in the match allowing his team to conquer the three points. The home team usually plays in a 4-4-2 tactical system, giving more importance to quick transitions and more offensive game play.
