**Mortágua's looking to bounce back after consecutive home defeats, while Alverca B are riding a hot streak** — only catch is their away form is shaky as hell. 🏟️

Both sides have flipped between blowout wins and head-scratching losses, so this could easily go either way. Mortágua's recent stumbles at home are a red flag, but they showed teeth on the road against Naval.

Key storylines:

- **Mortágua** need to tighten up defensively after conceding 4 goals in their last two matches
- **FC Alverca B** have won big at home but lost in transition; away tests expose them
- **P. Santos** and **E. Borges** will be crucial if Mortágua want to control tempo and limit Alverca's counter threats

Expected lineups:

- **Mortágua**: G. Ferreira, C. Silva, G. Rosário, H. Lopes, J. Paulo, A. O. Pinto, Bula, E. Borges, D. Rodrigues, J. Pais, P. Santos
- **FC Alverca B**: A. P. V. Ferreira, J. Costa, Ó. Torrellas, V. Hnato, Y. Boisseau, A. S. N. A. Carvalho, D. Grima, L. Giuntini, M. A. P. G. Grilo, T. Octavio, A. F. Castanheira

Prediction:

**2-1 Mortágua**. Slight edge to the hosts; Alverca's away woes are too real, and Mortágua will use their home ground to press early. 📍
