Nacional Preview – Can Nacional get back on track?
Sunday’s hosts, Nacional, have dropped down the Primeira Liga table to 13th place following a three-match losing streak which has resulted in recent defeats against Portimonense, Santa Clara and Porto respectively but they have a golden opportunity to set the record straight against lowly Tondela here.
Nacional had previously put together a three-match unbeaten run which included a 2-1 home win over Gil Vicente and having lost just one of their last five matches at their Estádio da Madeira, Nacional will be fairly confident that they can turn their fortunes around this Sunday.
In addition, Nacional have won the previous three meetings at home on the trot against Tondela.
Tondela Preview – Can Tondela gain vital win?
A 0-0 draw at home with Moreirense last time out in the Portuguese top flight was enough to lift Sunday’s visitors, Tondela, up into 14th place and just a point behind their upcoming hosts, Nacional, but they’ve failed to win any of their last three matches overall.
Tondela have picked up just the two wins to date in this season’s Primeira Liga campaign, both of which were achieved on home turf at their Estádio João Cardoso, but results away from home have been far from convincing.
An overall away record of 0-1-3 5/11 underlines the problems Tondela have had on their travels and includes defeats at Maritimo, Sporting and Porto, while the bigger picture shows that Tondela have won just one of their last 11 away matches.
