- 5' Brazil international Lucas Silva has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 10' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Carlos Carvalhal will be considering his options from the bench.

- 20' FC Pacos de Ferreira is showing some good football. However, FC Pacos de Ferreira are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 25' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FC Pacos de Ferreira that had 136 games and scored 155 goals.

- 56' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Ze Uilton suffering a number of foals already.
