Team News

AVS Futebol SAD
Nacional
  • Luís Silva, who should play a key role during 2024/25 season, is injured and won't feature here. Gustavo Mendonça, Aburjania and Lucca should form the midfield trio as a result.
  • The same goes for Fernando Fonseca who should be replaced by Léo Alaba.
  • Ulisses and Soumaré are doubts for Saturday and should be replaced by Francisco Gonçalves and Miguel Baeza if they fail to recover.
  • Either Butzke or Gabriel Santos will lead the line here.

Prediction

  • AVS SAD had to overcome Portimonense to secure access to the Primeira Liga after a patchy campaign in the second tier. The main objective will be staying in top flight and will look to start with a win here.
  • CD Nacional were one of the most entertaining teams in the second tier last year, and were able to secure promotion with attacking football and without needing any major signings. They lost a few key players during the summer, but that shouldn't affect their style.
  • This will be an interesting clash between two newly promoted teams. Their managers have a very attacking mentality, which could make for an entertaining game, with chances at both ends.
