**Cup poker time** — second-round Taça de Portugal clash where Serpa's home fortress meets Louletano's touring form. 🎭

Serpa have been **pretty sharp at the Estádio do Bonfim**, winning both recent home games and scoring freely (4-2 last time out). Louletano are the slight edge on recent results though, with **3 wins in their last 5**, though they just took an L at home to Santarém.

Key storylines:

- **Serpa's attack vs Louletano's backline** — Henrique and Vilão have been clinical at home; can Mendes and Passos keep them quiet on the road?
- **Louletano's midfield control** — Gonçalves and Ramires will look to tempo this match and limit Serpa's creative space
- **Cup momentum** — either side can push toward the next round; no hiding in this format

Expected lineups:

- **FC Serpa**: R. Rosindo, D. Prata, R. Santos, C. Petrosse, Emanuel, J. Malagueta, Marquinhos, J. Raposo, R. Tchê, J. Vilão, L. Henrique
- **Louletano DC**: Marcão, E. Mendes, G. Passos, T. Correia, L. v. d. Gaag, S. Ramires, V. Gonçalves, A. Dias, D. d. R. Paulino, G. Teixeira, R. Vilela

Prediction:

**2-1 Serpa**. Home turf and a potent front three edge it on cup day. 🔥
