It's game day two of the Segunda Liga campaign and a lot to play for. Check out our complete preview of Nacional-Vilafranquense!

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

This pitch has grass, which is not Vilafranquense's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on grass Vilafranquense have performed like this: Played 41 matches resulting in 8 wins, 13 draws and 20 defeats with the goal stats 40-70 (scored/conceded).

Nacional form and stats

Last season, Nacional's league statistics were 6 wins, 7 draws and 21 losses, resulting in a 18th position in the Primeira Liga. Over these 34 matches they scored 30 goals and conceded 59. Playing at home last season Nacional managed 4-3-10 (win-draw-lost) with 19 goals and 30 conceded. It's trouble wherever Nacional are playing these days as they have suffered four straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways.

Nacional are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-5 away versus Benfica II. As you see from the result above, Nacional suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.

Before that game, the home loss against Estoril with the scoreline 1-2.

Vilafranquense form and stats

Let's have a look at how Vilafranquense performed last season in the Segunda Liga: They landed a 17th position in the league table after playing out 5 victories, 16 draws and 13 defeats. In total they scored 34 and conceded 54 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 3 - drew 6 and lost 8 with 20/33 goals scored/conceded.

Home advantage was not enough for Vilafranquense in their previous game, as they lost their Segunda Liga-match, hosting Penafiel, 0-1.

Preceding that, the 0-3 home loss versus Arouca.

Head 2 Head

Head-to-head numbers (for the prior two meetings): Nacional won two games, zero matches ended with a draw and Vilafranquense have zero wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: two / zero
