Trofense form and stats

Trofense have secured 5 points from their first three home games in the Segunda Liga. A decent catch, still with room for improvement.

Stress levels are on the rise for Trofense's attacking players as they have now played 207 minutes without scoring in a league game. B. Almeida was their last goal scorer. Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Rogerio Paulo Veiga Santos not having conceded a league goal in 247 minutes.

A good away victory last time out for Trofense, who won 3-1 against Pevidem (after extra-time).

0-0 away at Mafra before that.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams.

Nacional form and stats

The Segunda Liga season is young and Nacional have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 3 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 2 defeats so far. Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in eleven away games in a row.

It's the second away game in a row for Nacional, but there's smiles all around after the 3-0 victory versus Vinhais in the Taça De Portugal last time out.

Preceding that, the 1-2 home loss versus Casa Pia.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found six similar matches played by Nacional in our archives, and the results are: two wins for Nacional, three draws and one defeat.

There's been a serious shortage of goals from Nacional's away games in the league this season with only 1 goal from 3 matches. For Nacional, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.

Head 2 Head

Head to head numbers (for the previous three meetings): Trofense won zero games, zero matches ended in a draw and Nacional managed three wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: two / one
