Paços de Ferreira Nacional betting prediction

The away team is currently in the 12^th position of the league, with 21 points won, after 5 wins, 6 draws and 10 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Belenenses, by (2‑1). In the last match, they lost in a home match against Sporting Braga, by (1‑2). This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 5 draws and 6 losses in away matches, with 14 goals scored and 17 conceded; against 6 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses at their stadium, with 23 goals scored and 21 conceded. In the last 10 away league matches Nacional has a record of 2 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses, so they have won 9 points out of 30 possible. In their away league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 0‑0 (4 out of 10 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for few goals, since 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition have ended with Under 2,5 goals. This is a team that has had a hard time trying to score first. They have opened up the score in only 5 of the last 21 matches for the Primeira Liga, they have reached half‑time in front in 2 of those 5 matches and have held on to the lead in 3. In 21 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 13 times and have only turned the score around in 2. In the last 10 away matches for this competition there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 4 of their 11 goals between minutes (16'‑30').

The team of Nacional da Madeira has been surviving out of the relegation zone, in a season in which they returned to the Portuguese football elite, having, of course, as their main objective the maintenance. At the entrance to the 22nd round of the Liga NOS, the group led by coach Luís Freire is 12th, with 21 points, just two above the first spot in the relegation zone. In the last round, Nacional had their third consecutive defeat and aggravated their bad moment. In the reception to Braga, the Madeirans lost, by 1-2, following a very poor first half and where Nacional saw goalkeeper Piscitelli drop the proverbial ball and “offer” the two goals to the Braga squad. The goal of honor was scored by Riascos (69’), without really changing the course of events.

Confirmed Lineup: Riccardo Piscitelli, Pedrão, João Vigário, Kalindi, Julio, Rúben Micael, Francisco Ramos, Nuno Borges, Pedro Mendes, Kenji Gorre, Brayan Riascos.
Coach: F. Nunes Cândido.
