Benfica welcome Nacional at Estadio da Luz, Lisboa on Sunday, Apr 18 at 6:00 PM in a Primeira Liga fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 0 points split them in the table.
Benfica come into this fixture in mixed form (1W 1D 0L). Nacional are in mixed form (1W 1D 1L), making this a relatively even contest on current form. Benfica won their last outing, while Nacional suffered defeat — home advantage backed by momentum.
History strongly favours Benfica here — they've won 9 of 10 previous meetings against Nacional, with 1 draws. Their last encounter ended in Benfica won 2–0. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.8 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Benfica a slight edge, but Nacional are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
