**Ançã's got the edge here — they just beat Sanjoanense a few weeks back, and now get another crack at them in the Cup.** 🎯 This is the kind of second-round matchup where recent form and head-to-head confidence matter, and Ançã have both.

Ançã bounced back from a 3-0 hammering with a 1-0 win over Sanjoanense in league play. Sanjoanense, meanwhile, have been a bit shaky (0-2 loss to Florgrade sandwiched between wins), so consistency isn't their strong suit right now.

Key storylines:

- **Ançã's defensive solidity** on the counter after that recent H2H win — they'll be hunting quick transitions
- **Sanjoanense's attacking threat** through **Brandão** and **A. Ramalho** is real, but the backline led by **J. Cá** can't afford another sluggish start
- **Home advantage** for Ançã in a Cup tie always tilts momentum their way

Expected lineups:

- **Ançã FC**: D. M. Henriques, A. S. Tavares, H. M. Neves, H. Parreiral, J. F. Fonseca, A. Carvalho, B. F. Salgueiro, J. Vigário, D. Vandré, E. Seletchi
- **AD Sanjoanense**: A. Duarte, J. Martins, J. Cá, L. Silva, R. Sousa, E. Pinheiro, R. Gomes, E. Gabriel, D. Oliveira, A. Ramalho, Brandão

Prediction:

**Ançã 2–1 Sanjoanense.** Slight lean to Ançã based on that recent H2H win and the Cup stage vibes. 📌
