Prediction

  • Nacional got off to a relatively good start in the Primeira Liga by picking up a valuable draw against a direct rival. Tiago Margarido's men will be looking to spring an upset against last year's champions.
  • An early goal from Pote set Sporting on their way to a convincing victory over Rio Ave in their Primeira Liga opener. The lions will be looking to continue their winning streak in Madeira and stay in the lead in the fight for another league title.
  • Sporting have good memories from the Choupana, as they've defeated Nacional in 3 of their 4 last trips, keeping a clean sheet in each game. A similar result is expected for Rúben Amorim' men.
