The Conquerors aim to reach the competition’s final for the first time since 2016-17, while the Dragons, to-time defending champions, chase a historic three-peat.

Vitoria Guimaraes claimed a 3-1 victory over Gil Vicente in the quarter-final to reach this stage of the competition

Alvaro Pacheco’s side, who lifted the Taca de Portugal once in 2012-13, have reached the final seven times, finishing runners-up on six occasions. Their last final appearance came six seasons ago, ending in defeat to Benfica.

Meanwhile, Porto enter this contest off the back of a disappointing 1-0 defeat to Estoril Praia on Saturday, a game that saw two red cards for the Dragons and one for their opponents.

With Sporting Lisbon leading the Primeira Liga by 10 points, a League Cup exit, and Champions League elimination, the Taca de Portugal represents Porto’s only realistic hope for silverware this season.

Vitoria Guimaraes vs. Porto Head to head

In the 66 previous meetings between these two teams, Vitoria Guimaraes have claimed five victories while Porto have won 54, and they have drawn in seven. Porto have scored 143 goals and conceded 39 in the process.
