Great derby coming up for the Portuguese Cup

The semi-finals of the Portuguese Cup will have the great derby between FC Porto and Sporting CP, in Estádio do Dragão, tomorrow night.
Both teams are the main contenders to win the Portuguese League and also the Portuguese Cup, but only one will pass through to the final.
Sporting CP is enjoying great form after winning their 8th straight game and look forward for a 9th win, but they will have to face the european leading team in concealed goals dispite playing only with 3 defenders.
Pepe will be back to the squad after one game suspension and goalkeeper Helton and forward Jorginho could also be returning from injury to a place in the bench.
On the other semi-final we will have Vitoria Guimarães playing the Portuguese Cup holders, Vitoria de Setúbal, in a game where the winner could find a place for next year's UEFA Cup. This game will take place Thursday night.
