Nacional have played 17 Segunda Liga games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 5-3-9 (wins-draws-losses).

The Nacional regulars enjoyed the previous game, watching their team host Academico Viseu and win 3-2. A very satisfying win for Nacional against Academico Viseu last time out as a late comeback secured the victory after trailing 0-2. The win was secured through Manuel's goal in the 83rd minute. The victory against Academico Viseu came after Manuel's winning goal. The Nacional manager Margarido was very happy afterwards with the decision to bring on that player in the 46th minute.

In the preceding match a 1-0 victory visiting Estrela Amadora.

Penafiel form and stats

Last season their League Cup adventure ended in the group stage.

5 wins, 5 draws and 7 losses. That’s the product of Penafiel playing as the away team in the Segunda Liga this season.

The manager Cristóvão was unhappy after their last game, played at their home venue Estádio Municipal 25 de Abril. Penafiel suffered a 2-4 loss to Estrela Amadora. A huge disappointment for Penafiel in their last match (vs Estrela Amadora). Leading 2-0 the victory seemed almost certain, but a fascinating collapse turned everything around and in the end all was lost in a 2-4 defeat.

Preceding that game, the 1-5 loss visiting Torreense's place.

Penafiel have conceded 26 goals in these games.
