Team News

Nacional
Gil Vicente
  • Joel Tagueu netted the winner last time around and will push for a start. The Cameroonian should get the nod over Tomich upfront.
  • Lucas França was also a standout performer last weekend with 8 (!) decisive saves and will be full of confidence here.
  • Coach Tiago Margarido might ring the changes in the middle of the park, with Labidi being a candidate to start there.
  • Bermejo will boost options out wide after missing out against Vitória SC due to a last minute injury. He will be in competition with Touré and Félix Correia to feature from the outset.
  • Sandro Cruz is unavailable due to an accumulation of bookings, which paves the way for Kazu to start at left-back.
  • Santi García might return to the starting XI after making an impact last time around. He'll likely replace Mohamed Bamba in the middle of the park, partnering up with Cáseres.

Prediction

  • Nacional picked up a very important win last weekend against Boavista at the Estadio do Bessa. They are nine points clear of the relegation zone and a win here could ensure top flight competition next season.
  • Gil Vicente were unable to avoid defeat against Vitória SC last time out and are edging ever closer to the drop zone. They are just 3 points off 16th place and will have to return to winning ways (just one in the last 11 games) if they want to avoid falling there.
  • Gil Vicente will be under a lot more pressure than Nacional for this game, which could benefit the home side, who are also enjoying a better run of form. With this in mind, it wouldn't be surprising if the Madeirans took a step closer to survival.
