Nacional form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Primeira Liga this season. Nacional have only managed 3 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses from their games here at Estádio da Madeira. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Nacional with their six defeats in a row. Not since the Boavista game, 52 days ago, have they avoided a loss. Game days at Estádio da Madeira have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for Nacional as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts.
Nacional faced defeat in their previous match, away at Gil Vicente (0-2). Preceding that match was a defeat to Marítimo (1-2).
Nacional are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 15 goals in 12 games. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 19 goals have been conceded.
Portimonense form and stats
There's been little loot from Portimonense's travels as they have only collected 5 points from 12 away games in the Primeira Liga. Portimonense only have 1 win to counter their 9 defeats and 2 draws. The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Portimonense have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone ten consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Marítimo game.
The manager P. Bento Brito was unhappy after their last game, a Primeira Liga match played at their home ground Estádio Municipal de Portimão. Portimonense suffered a 1-2 loss to Porto (placed 2nd). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Santa Clara wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.
The visitors have scored 7 goals from 12 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Portimonense have conceded 20 goals in these games.
Head 2 Head
The last H2H meeting was Portimonense - Nacional 1-0, played this season. Head-to-head totals (for the last five meetings): Nacional won one game, one match ended with a draw and Portimonense has three wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: two / threeTop Goalscorers
