Prediction: 2-1
Farense
Nacional will look to make amends for back-to-back losses to Sporting CP and Arouca when they take on Farense in the Primeira Liga round 4. The Black and Whites are determined to record their first win of the process and we are positive that they will fight tooth and nail against Os Leoes de Faro. Tiago Margarido has a full squad to choose from.
Farense, on the other hand, do not seem to be competitive at this level, with the team losing each of their first three games of the season and given their shaky defence, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the home side. In their last encounter in a competitive game Farense defeated Nacional 1-0, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge. Midfielder Luiz Felipe remains in the recovery room, but he should be the only absentee in the away team.
