Lusitania play in the fourth level of the Portuguese league system, in Serie C of the Campeonato de Portugal. They are currently top of their group with three wins from six matches, and have already recorded victory in the cup. Entering in the previous round, Lusitania beat Os Marialvas 1-0 in their game, despite both sides going down to 10 men.

Each of their past two third round ties in the Taca de Portugal have gone to extra-time, with Benfica needing 120 minutes to beat Trofense in 2021/22 and penalties to knock out Caldas last season.
