Match Time & Date:

07:30 AM
Prediction: 1-0
Nacional
Belenenses will be aiming to record their first win of the month when they welcome Nacional at their Estadio Nacional do Jamor. O Belem have been playing some low-scoring games in 2021, and it has to be noted that under 2.5 goals have been netted in each of their previous eight league fixtures. Anyhow, home win should be considered as Belenenses failed to turn their dominance into goals in the goalless draw with Famalicao, with the team taking 11 shots on target.
Nacional, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-2 loss to Farense, which is yet another reason why we are tempted to put our money on the home team. The two teams played out a goalless draw in the first half of the season, and yet another low-scoring game is on the cards.
Highlighted Player (Goncalo Silva):
Born in Barreiro, Portugal, on June 4, 1991, Goncalo Silva is a defender who plays for Belenenses. After starting his youth career at Barreirense, Goncalo Silva moved to Lousada before the start of the 2010/2011 season.

The Portuguese footballer made his Primeira Liga debut in on October 26, 2015, in a 1-0 win over Uniao Madeira. His primary position is a centre-back, but he is capable of producing fine displays as a right-back as well. Goncalo Silva has one cap for the Portugal U21 team, but he has yet to make his debut with the senior team. His preferred foot is right.
