💭 Prediction

When taking everything into account, Nacional will need to apply a lot of pressure to breach the defence of this Moreirense outfit who we think might do enough to score at the other end and edge ahead.

Therefore, we predict a good battle with a 0-1 advantage for Moreirense at the end of this game.

There should be little in it.
