Estrela's sample is much bigger and comes from the Primeira Liga. Across their last 20 outings they've won six, drawn eight and lost six, with goals fairly even at 31 for and 29 against. That's a side treading water in the top division rather than flying, but it's still a level above what Fazendense face week to week.

The gap in competition level looks like the biggest factor here, even though neither team's recent form is especially strong.

Cup Football Levels The Field, Slightly

This is a domestic cup tie, and those often throw together clubs from completely different tiers. Fazendense have shown they can be competitive in games this season, including a heavy win and a couple of tight defeats, but stepping up against Primeira Liga opposition is a different test altogether.

Estrela's own inconsistency in the league, drawing as many games as they've won, suggests they're not unbeatable. There's no head-to-head history between these two sides either, so there isn't much precedent to lean on beyond the general gap in level.
