Nacional host Sporting CP at Estadio da Madeira, Funchal on Sunday, Feb 14 at 6:00 PM in the Primeira Liga.
Nacional come into this fixture in mixed form (1W 1D 1L). Sporting CP, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (2W 1D 0L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. Nacional head into this on the back of a defeat, while Sporting CP arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.
Despite playing at home, Nacional face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Sporting CP have won 10 of 10 encounters. Their last encounter ended in Nacional won 1–2. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 4.2 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Nacional a slight edge, but Sporting CP are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
