Prediction: 0-0
Famalicao
Estadio de Madeira will host Saturday’s Primeira Liga game between Nacional and Famalicao, the two mid-table sides. Nacional aim to make amends for a 1-0 loss to Braga and you should know that they are after their sixth home win of the process. Joao Gomes is a major doubt after limping off with injury at the weekend, with Arvin Appiah likely to step up.
Famalicao, on the other hand, proved their worth in back-to-back wins over Gil Vicente and Moreirense. Nacional, though, are tough to beat at home and we predict that the two sides are going to share the spoils in Saturday’s encounter. Talented midfielder Gustavo Sa serves a one-game ban, but there are no fresh injury worries in the away team. You should know that the two sides played out a boring goalless draw at Estadio Municipal de Famalicao earlier this season.
