Casa Pia Nacional betting prediction

The away team comes to this group stage after having eliminated União de Leiria, with a away win by (4‑5), after a penalty shootout. This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 5 wins, 6 draws and 4 losses in away matches, with 23 goals scored and 28 conceded; against 6 wins, 2 draws and 7 losses at their stadium, with 15 goals scored and 20 conceded. In their last match, for the Taça de Portugal, they got an away win against Portosantense by (2‑4). In the last 10 away matches Nacional has won 5, tied 2 and lost 3. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 5 times but have turned the score around in 2.
