"Last seen signing off 2025 with a gritty 1-0 victory away at Torreense, the Aveiro-based outfit have come skyrocketing up the Liga 2 standings and they could astonishingly move within touching distance of the promotion spots on Thursday night. Storming their way to a stunning 5-1 romp when they travelled to Pafos Ferreira on December 14th, Lusitania have won four of their previous five Liga 2 appearances and the mood in their camp remains at a red-hot high."
"Watching their Taca de Portugal adventure come to a shock end back in November as they crashed out against fourth-tier outfit Vila Mea, Thursday's guests have lost five of their previous six appearances across all competitions and they have shown some major issues at the back. Including an action-packed 4-2 defeat at home against Porto B last month, Leixoes have shipped 34 goals this season and hold the worst defensive tally among Portugal's second-tier."
Lusitania returned to the second tier this season and have enjoyed a stellar run under Renato Coimbra. They ended 2025 with a gritty 1-0 win at Torreense and have climbed the Liga 2 standings, putting them within touching distance of the promotion spots. Lusitania routed Pafos Ferreira 5-1 on December 14th and have won four of their last five league matches while suffering only a single second-tier defeat in two months. Leixoes sit rock-bottom after a 4-1 loss to Maritimo and have lost five of their previous six appearances across all competitions. Leixoes have shipped 34 goals this season and carry the worst defensive tally in Portugal's second tier, leaving them heavy underdogs against in-form Lusitania.
