Team News

Nacional
Arouca
  • Tagueu may feature upfront if Tiago Margarido opts to ring the changes upfront.
  • Soumaré boosts options at the middle of the park and willl likely replace Matheus Dias.
  • Jakub Vincarcik was loaned by Juventus but he's unlikely to make his debut here given Nico Mantl performances.
  • Jason came from the bench to net the winner and will push for a start here.

Prediction

  • Nacional were unable to question Sporting's superiority and lost 2-0 to the lions. Still, Tiago Margarido's men had a good first half and should take those 45 minutes as their inspiration for Saturday.
  • Arouca entered 2025 in top form and have yet to lose in the new year, picking up 7 points from 3 games. Last time around, they beat Moreirense 1-0 and could even have won by more given the chances they had.
  • The visitors' run of form gives the legitimate aspirations of bringing one or three points home, despite the difficult trip to Choupana.
