Nacional (home)
- Nacional Madeira Funchal occupy 13th place in the Primeira Liga 2026/2027 with four points from six matches with Famalicão in 15th on just three points from five matches.
- Nacional are in bad form, losing four consecutive matches and going down 2-0 at Sporting CP last time out before their 1-3 home defeat to Alverca.
- Alexandre Santos' side have scored five times at home in the Primeira Liga 2026/2027, averaging 1.67 on their own patch where they have one win and two defeats.
- Nacional have played a 4-4-2 system with compact lines and control of possession, but might be able to make some inroads behind Famalicão's wing-backs on the counter-attack.
- Leonardo Santos leads Nacional's goal record with one in the Primeira Liga 2026/2027, so the goals will have to come from somewhere else too.
Famalicão (away)
- Famalicão are aiming for a first away victory in three games in the Primeira Liga 2026/2027 after two draws and a defeat.
- Carvalhal's men have been more mixed than convincing in their last five matches, winning none of their last five after back-to-back draws followed their 1-0 defeat at Santa Clara.
- But Famalicão have looked well set for fast breaks and organised enough to press the ball when they lose it, so they could disrupt Nacional's patient build-up.
- Famalicão have scored 1.00 and let in 1.33 goals on average away from home in the Primeira Liga 2026/2027, so this game should have chances at both ends.
Head-to-Head
But the head-to-head record is just slightly in the visitors' favor, with two wins for Famalicão , a draw and a win for Nacional across the last four, although Famalicão did win 1-0 at home in the Primeira Liga 2025/2026 five months ago .
