In the Portuguese Cup Round of 16 match, Maritimo and Leiria will face each other. Maritimo, who competed in the top league, has been showing good gameplay in the second league and currently holds the fourth position in the standings. Their experience and quality of play suggest that they will be able to score at least one or two goals. However, we should not forget about Leiria, who is also a scoring team. Although their recent results haven't been very impressive, in a cup match they can showcase their potentially good offense and manage to score. All this suggests that the match will be high-scoring with goals scored by both teams. Moreover, the cup format allows teams to play more openly and attackingly. Therefore, my prediction for the Maritimo - Leiria match is that it will be a high-scoring game with goals from both sides.
