THE PREDICTION

Nacional have lost each of their last three Primeira Ligia matches by a margin of one goal to Farense, Belenenses and mire understandably Sporting Braga in a worrying trend. They desperately need to outscore a side soon as they are just three points form the bottom of a congested league table but fifth-placed Pacos de Ferreira are likely to have too much for them here. The hosts have lost two of their last three matches but remain incredibly strong at home having gone nine matches unbeaten. Back-to-back 1-1 draws at Nacional and a 4-0 win at Pacos de Ferreira before that suggest draw no bet in favour of the hosts here will be a safe option indeed but combining that with a both teams to score a total of over 2.5 goals could add some value. Alternatively, take the hosts to win here outright in a match where both can score as Nacional look set to struggle.
