Nacional will no doubt be keen to halt a disappointing six-game winless run in all competitions when they play host to fellow strugglers in the Portuguese top flight at their Estádio da Madeira on Monday night.
Two draws within this sequence against Estoril and Estrela in the Liga Portugal have been overshadowed by slipping to four defeats, three of which have come in the league at the hands of Famalicao, Benfica and Alverca, while a 4-2 loss in the Taca de Portugal has completed the hosts’ recent misery.
Nacional have also failed to capitalise on home advantage so far in this season’s campaign as Tiago Margarido’s side possess a poor looking home record of 1-0-5 6/13 in their own backyard.
Tondela haven’t fared much better so far this season as the visitors sit third from bottom, occupy the relegation play-off spot as well as managing to capture just one win in their last seven matches across all competitions.
That rare highlight came in the form of a 1-0 win away from home at Gil Vicente though, and although Cristiano Bacci’s side have also slipped to five defeats as well as being involved in a draw, Tondela possess an away record of 2-1-4 5/13 which turns out to be marginally superior to that of Nacional’s home record.
In addition, Tondela have lost just once in their last four meetings against Nacional and the visitors look capable of at least holding out for a point at the Estádio da Madeira on Monday evening.
The Betting Verdict
Tondela have registered a recent win on the road which will give them belief ahead of this upcoming trip.
The Pick :
Nacional 1-1 Tondela
