THE PREDICTION
Sporting Lisbon are doing their best to pull away from the chasing pack and remain unbeaten after 12 games of the new Primeira Liga season, winning their tenth match 2-0 against Sporting Braga. They next face an intermittent Nacional side who stopped a run of three straight defeats in the league with a 2-0 win of their own against mid-table rivals Tondela which makes the prospect of hosting the league-leaders a little easier to bear. Nacional have scored in each of their last four matches at home whilst Sporting Lisbon have conceded in three of their last five on the road so both teams to score in an away victory looks a sensible option here.
