Estrela da Amadora will host Sporting de Braga in Alverca, a change of venue determined due to the closure of Estádio José Gomes. The match was moved from Reboleira, where the team usually plays as the home side.
The Estádio José Gomes was closed by the Portuguese Professional Football League. The closure is due to repeated negative assessments of the pitch condition at the venue.
This situation arises after two matches held in Reboleira that prompted the negative assessments by the League. The governing body of Portuguese professional football thus decided to prohibit the use of the stadium for competition matches.
