Team News

Nacional
Farense
  • João Aurélio and Somaré miss out through injury and won't be part of Sunday' match.
  • Either Baeza or Bruno Costa will feature at the middle of the park here.
  • Ricardo Velho might not be a SC Farense player by the time this match starts and will likely be replaced by Cañizares in goal.
  • José Mota could ring the changes to his side on Sunday after the 5-0 defeat to Sporting, which might open the door to the likes of Artur Jorge and Pastor.

Prediction

  • Nacional only picked up one point in their first three games back in the Primeira Liga, but that could be explained by the fact that they've only played at home once and that was against last year's champions, Sporting. Last time out they lost away to Arouca, but they deserved another result.
  • Farense have lost every game they've played in the Primeira Liga this season. In their last game they lost 5-0 against Sporting, which could have a significant impact on their confidence.
  • Back at the Estadio da Choupana and facing a demoralised opponent, it wouldn't be surprising if Nacional's free-flowing attack got all the spoils.
