Nacional welcome Arouca at Estadio da Madeira, Funchal on Sunday, Mar 21 at 6:00 PM in a Primeira Liga fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.
Nacional come into this fixture in mixed form (1W 1D 1L). Arouca, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (2W 0D 1L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.
Despite playing at home, Nacional face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Arouca have won 6 of 10 encounters, with 3 draws. Their last encounter ended in Nacional won 0–3.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Nacional a slight edge, but Arouca are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
