Insights:
  • Portimonense has the fewest points (1) at home in Primeira Liga

There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Taça De Portugal game only four days ago. That game, against Casa Pia, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Nacional.

Nacional form and stats

Things could have gone better for Nacional in their Primeira Liga away matches, but 4 points from 3 games is all right.

Nacional play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 3-2 victory visiting Casa Pia (after extra-time). Before that, Nacional secured a home win against Gil Vicente with the score 2-1.

The end of the last match, against Casa Pia (after extra-time), was very satisfying as B. Riascos scored the winning goal deep into overtime.

We have checked recent matches where Nacional have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those eight games were one victory, one draw and six defeats.

The attacking power of Nacional when travelling is not overwhelming with 2 goals scored from 3 league matches away. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (2 so far).

Head 2 Head

Last four meetings between the teams: Portimonense won two, Nacional won one and one draw. two games with over 2,5 goals, two matches with two goals or less.
