The home team returns to Estádio Municipal do Fontelo after drawing with Feirense (placed 6th) on their last time out; the game ended 1-1.
A home victory ahead of that match, as expected. The team were huge favourites against Beira-Mar and won 2-0.

Nacional form and stats
The visitors are W2-D2-L3 on the road this term. That's in the Segunda Liga.
The attacking players of Nacional have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 227 minutes.
The manager Cândido was unhappy after their last game, played at their home venue Estádio da Madeira. Nacional suffered a 0-1 loss to Estrela Amadora (placed 4th).
A home victory as expected against Rabo Peixe ahead of that, in the Taça De Portugal.
A tale of few goals? 8 of this side's most recent 10 league matches have seen two or less goals.
The attacking power of Nacional when travelling is not overwhelming with 6 goals scored from 7 league matches away. As opposed to that, Nacional have seen the ball go into their own net 9 times on the road.
