Prediction: 2-0
Santa Clara
Estadio da Capital do Movel will host Friday’s football game between Ferreira and Nacional, the two teams with totally different ambitions in the remainder of the season. Ferreira are enjoying a very successful season, and they are determined to represent Portugal in European competitions next term. Defender Jorge Silva has been struggling with a long-term injury, but he should be the only absentee in the home team.
The Black and Whites from Madeira, on the other hand, are fighting hard to secure the Primeira Liga survival, but given their anything but good away record in the Portuguese top flight, we are tempted to put our money on Os Castores. Even though Nacional boss Pepa should have a full squad to choose from, we are tempted to put our money on the hosts, who aim to cement their spot in top five in the Primeira Liga table.
