Nacional host Alverca at Estadio da Madeira, Funchal on Sunday, Sep 13 at 6:00 PM in the Primeira Liga.

Nacional come into this fixture in mixed form (1W 1D 1L). Alverca travel out of form (0W 2L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Nacional and Alverca have split their 4 meetings almost evenly (2W–0D–2W). Their last encounter ended in Nacional won 1–0.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Nacional a slight edge, but Alverca are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
