Nacional welcome Gil Vicente at Estadio da Madeira, Funchal on Sunday, Jan 10 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). Gil Vicente, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (2W 0D 0L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. Nacional head into this on the back of a defeat, while Gil Vicente arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.

Despite playing at home, Nacional face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Gil Vicente have won 7 of 10 encounters, with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in Nacional won 1–2. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.6 per game in recent meetings.

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