Nacional form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Nacional's two home games in the Segunda Liga so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Estádio da Madeira.

The Nacional fans enjoyed the previous fixture, watching their team host Leixões and win 3-1.

Prior to that, an away loss at Torreense.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Nacional have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 10 matches with the results: Won 3, drawn 2 and lost 5.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Nacional at home in the league. 4 on target and 3 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.

Leixões form and stats

It's not happening yet for Leixões on their Segunda Liga travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games. Maybe today will be different?

Leixões lost away at Nacional (1-3) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick.

A draw for Leixões before that, at their own venue hosting Santa Clara (0-0).

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 13 similar matches played by Leixões in our archives, and the results are: 2 wins for Leixões, 6 draws and 5 defeats.

It's early days yet, but Leixões has scored 1 and conceded 6 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
