**Mafra's cup momentum meets Tirsense's hot streak — this second-round clash has upset potential written all over it.** 🏆 Both sides arrive with recent wins under their belts, but the visitors have the form edge with three victories in their last five.
Mafra's been scrappy (mixed results, but a tidy 1-0 at home), while Tirsense looks sharper, dropping just one of their last three outings. Cup ties are weird though — anything goes when there's only 90 minutes to settle it.
Key storylines:
- **R. Matos and L. Silva** leading Mafra's attack against a Tirsense side that just blanked Vinhais 3-0
- **Tirsense's defensive stability** (two clean sheets in recent games) tested by Mafra's unpredictable forward play
- Cup tennis — Mafra at home, but Tirsense's rhythm could be the deciding factor
Expected lineups:
- **CD Mafra**: P. Silva, J. Ferreira, G. Cardoso, M. Camara, F. Ferreira, B. Sambú, Y. Maïga, M. Niang, L. Neves, L. Silva, R. Matos
- **FC Tirsense**: Cajo, João, J. Pereira, J. Pimenta, L. Sampaio, F. J. M. Sousa, D. A. B. S. Goncalves, Figa, J. Amoah, T. Reisinho, Alex
Prediction:
**Mafra 1-1 Tirsense** (extra time, Tirsense progress on pens). Lean toward the visitors' sharper form, but Mafra's home advantage keeps it tight. 🎪
