Form: WLDLW

CD Nacional finally got to put an end to their three-match winless run (L2, D1) after securing a narrow 1-0 home victory against Moreirense. In a match where they limited their opponents to just four shots at goal, it was José Gomes' strike in the second half that decided everything.

The White-and-Black can be proud of their performances at the Estadio da Madeira, as this is where a majority of their points come from. With three wins in their last five matches (D1, L1), it's no doubt that they can make life difficult for the visiting team, especially when putting into consideration their solid defense that has seen them keep four clean sheets in their last six matches at this venue.

Formation: 4-3-3

Franca; Garcia, Ze Vitor, Ulisses, Gomes; Esteves, Soumare, Costa; Appiah, Isaac, Thomas

Form: DWWWW

It's of no use for Benfica to cry over spilled milk following their 1-1 draw against AVS Futebol SAD on Sunday. They had more than plenty of chances to put the game to bed, but it seemed they weren't up for the challenge. However, they remain consistent as they come into this match with a 12-match unbeaten run in the league (W10, D2).

The Eagles boast the second-best offensive record in the league with 32 goals scored from 13 games. However, unlike their rivals Sporting CP, they haven't been reliant on one player to score goals for them, with the likes of Kerem Aktürkoğlu (6), Angel Di Maria (4), and Vangelis Pavlidis (3), just to name a few, contributing to the goal tally this season. 

Formation: 4-2-3-1

Trubin; Bah, Araujo, Otamendi, Carreras; Aursnes, Luis; Di Maria, Kokcu, Akturkoglu; Pavlidis

  • CD Nacional has kept a clean sheet in four of their last six home matches in the Primeira Liga.
  • Benfica has won three of their last six away matches in the Primeira Liga.
  • CD Nacional has lost 14 of their last 15 encounters against Benfica.

In the last 39 meetings, CD Nacional has won 3 times, Benfica has won 30 times, and there have been 6 draws, with the goal difference being 89-26 in favor of Benfica. 

I'm backing Benfica to win and under 4.5 goals at odds of 1.64 The reasoning behind this pick is that they have won 18 of their 20 matches in this fixture, with the total going under in 14 instances. This gives me confidence that they won't disappoint like their last match against AVS Futebol SAD.

Both Teams To Score - Yes - Despite being underdogs, CD Nacional has been sharp in the final third, finding the back of the net in four of their last six home matches.

Benfica to score in both halves - The Eagles have scored in both halves in seven of their last nine matches in the Primeira Liga, and I believe this trend is likely to carry on despite their opponent's solid defense.
