Nacional

LWLLWL

Since a losing effort in their last game against Gil Vicente in Primeira Liga competition, Nacional and their fans will hope to get a better result this time.

In that game, Nacional managed 64% possession and 20 attempts on goal with 6 on target. Gil Vicente got 8 shots at goal with 4 on target. Felix Correia (16', 82') and Pablo (61') scored for Gil Vicente.

It is worth noting that Nacional have suffered from a lack of goals over their previous 6 encounters, recording the disappointing return of only 4. In those matches, Os Alvinegros have also seen the overall goal aggregate of opposing teams equal 9.

Ahead of this clash, Nacional haven't beaten Moreirense when they've played them away from home in the last 5 league games. They really have not been travelling well at all.

ℹ️ Team News: Moreirense

Hernâni (Ankle sprain) and Guilherme Liberato (Torn knee ligaments) won’t be able to feature for Moreirense gaffer Cristiano Bacci.

It seems likely that Os verdes e brancos look set to use a 4-2-3-1 system featuring Kewin, Dinis Pinto, Marcelo, Maracas, Godfried Frimpong, Sidnei Tavares, Lawrence Ofori, Cedric Teguia, Alan, Bernardo Martins and Yan Lincon.

ℹ️ Team News: Nacional

Thanks to a largely healthy group, there is just the sole fitness problem for the Nacional boss Tiago Margarido to be concerned with. Miguel Baeza (unknown injury) won’t be playing here.

We reckon that Os Alvinegros will likely play in a 4-3-3 formation, choosing Lucas Franca, Gustavo Garcia, Ulisses Rocha, Ze Vitor, Jose Gomes, Luis Esteves, Djibril Soumare, Daniel Penha, Fuki Yamada, Joel Tagueu and Paulinho Boia.

🔮 Prediction

We’re of the view that Nacional are likely to find the net against this Moreirense side, although that probably shouldn’t be as many as the goals that they could concede.

Our selection here is for both teams to score in a 2-1 winning score for Moreirense after the 90. Looking forward to seeing how this one unfolds.
