Nacional

WLWLLW

Nacional will be looking for a repeat result of a 0-1 Primeira Liga success vs Boavista.

In that game, Nacional had 49% possession and 15 shots at goal with 5 of them on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Nacional was Joel Tagueu (16'). Boavista got 21 attempts at goal with 8 of them on target.

It’s not been often in recent times where Nacional have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. It will be a concern for them that Nacional have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, letting in 7 goals on the way.

Ahead of this meeting, Nacional have not emerged victorious against Gil Vicente in their last 2 matches in the league.

Gil Vicente

DLLWLL

Since tasting defeat last time out to Vitória Guimarães in Primeira Liga action, Gil Vicente and their fans will hope to get a better result this time.

Gustavo Silva (77') scored for Vitória Guimarães.

The strike force from Gil Vicente have failed to get amongst the goals over their previous 6 clashes, recording the disappointing return of just 4. In those fixtures, Gilistas have also seen the overall goal tally against them equal 8. Nevertheless, we will just have to wait and see whether such a trend will be sustained in this game.

Taking a look at their past results, Gil Vicente:

• haven't beaten Nacional when they have played them away from home in the previous 4 league games. Not good at all.
• haven't been defeated in their previous 2 away league matches.

📋 Team News: Nacional

Availability isn’t a big problem, with just a single fitness concern for the Nacional manager Tiago Margarido to be concerned with from of an almost fully healthy group. Miguel Baeza (unknown injury) misses out.

We think that Os Alvinegros may well opt for a 4-2-3-1 system in the match, utilising Lucas Franca, Gustavo Garcia, Ulisses Rocha, Ze Vitor, Jose Gomes, Luis Esteves, Djibril Soumare, Fuki Yamada, Daniel Penha, Paulinho Boia and Joel Tagueu.

🗞️ Team News: Gil Vicente

Thanks to a mainly available squad, there is just the lone fitness problem for the Gil Vicente manager César Peixoto to be concerned about. Yaya Sithole (Tibia and fibula fracture) misses out for this game.

There’s a good chance that Gilistas could decide to utilise a 4-2-3-1 lineup using Andrew, Ze Carlos, Ruben Fernandes, Jonathan Buatu, Sandro Cruz, Facundo Caseres, Mohamed Bamba, Tidjany Toure, Kanya Fujimoto, Felix Correia and Jorge Aguirre.

✨ Prediction

Our feeling is that Gil Vicente will need to put in a solid display to be putting a goal past this Nacional team who we think should score at least once to gain the upper hand.

Our tip is therefore for a good battle with a 1-0 advantage for Nacional at the end of the 90 minutes.
