Team News

Nacional
Estoril
  • Fuki Yamada was sent off last time around and will open the Starting XI door to Dudu.
  • Ulisses is back available and should regain his Starting XI spot at the heart of the defense.
  • Begraoui netted a brace last time around and should be full of beans here.
  • The same goes for João Carvalho, as he was named Primeira Liga' player of the month.

Prediction

  • Nacional picked up an important win against Farense last week when they won 2-0 in the Algarve, allowing them to build a five-point cushion over the relegation zone. They'll be looking to follow that up with a good result on Saturday.
  • A brace from Begraoui gave Estoril their fifth straight win in the Primeira Liga. Ian Cathro's men are now fighting for a place in the top six that could give them access to European competition next season
  • Estoril's good form makes them one of the most difficult teams to play against at the moment. However, Nacional are a tough nut to crack when they play in Madeira and might have the ability to stop the Canarinhos' winning streak.
