Porto Nacional betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The FC Porto team is obliged to win in order to remain in the pursuit of the leadership and will enter this match determined to solve its task early, against a Nacional who should guard more defensively and try to reach the attack through quick transitions . A game with some goal situations from both sides is expected, also because defensively the "dragons" have been limping a little at home, even though they always have a high level offensive quality.

At the start of the 10th round, the team led by coach Sérgio Conceição is only 3rd, with a balance of 19 points in nine matches, two points less than Benfica (2nd) and four points less than Sporting (1st). Last weekend, FC Porto qualified for the Final 16 round of the Portuguese Cup, beating Tondela, with some difficulty (2-1, at home).

In the last 4 away league matches Nacional has a record of 1 win, 1 draw and 2 losses, so they have won 4 points out of 12 possible. This is a team that has had a hard time trying to score first.

Nacional returned this season to the elite of Portuguese football and has been doing a balanced campaign so far, its main objective, of course, being maintenance. Occupying the 10th place in the leaderboard, the team led by young coach Luís Freire has 10 points, the same as Famalicão's, and is only one behind the Belenenses and Rio Ave. Without playing for the Portuguese Cup in the past weekend, due to the appearance of an outbreak of covid-19 in the opponent (Leixões), the Madeirans last played about two weeks ago, against Santa Clara, with whom they lost, at home, by 1-3, in a relatively balanced game and decided by the superior effectiveness of the Azoreans. Thus, Nacional lost the second consecutive match, for the first time this season.

Confirmed Lineup: Daniel, Rúben Freitas, João Vigário, Pedrão, Lucas Kal, Ibrahim Alhassan Abdullahi, Larry Azouni, Vladan Danilović, Brayan Riascos, Kenji Gorre, João Camacho.
