Prediction: 3-0
Nacional
High-flying Porto will look to retain top position in the standings when they welcome Nacional to their Estadio do Dragao on Saturday evening. The Dragons are determined to bring glory days back to “Dragao” and they must be brimming with confidence following four consecutive wins in the early stages of the season. The good news for the hosts is that key attacker Samu made his return from injury in a 2-1 win over Sporting CP, but fellow attacker Luuk de Jong misses out with a knee problem.
Nacional, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-0 win over Casa Pia, but given their struggles in matches against top-table sides, home win should be considered. You should know that Porto defeated Nacional 3-0 in their last meeting at Estadio do Dragao. There are no fresh injury worries in the visiting team ahead of Saturday’s encounter.
