These teams have met only twice recently: on May 3, 2025, Vitória SC won (1-2), and on December 23, 2024, they ended in a draw (2-2). Home advantage may play a crucial role, as both teams show significant disparities in their home and away results.

Currently ranked 7th, the home team has gathered 22 points from 6 wins, 4 draws, and 6 losses. Their penultimate match saw them lose at home to Sporting CP (1-4). In their most recent match, they drew against Casa Pia (0-0) away. Interestingly, this team has had better results away than at home, with the last 30 matches showing 8 victories, 2 draws, and 5 losses away, scoring 15 goals and conceding 16, compared to 7 wins, 3 draws, and 5 losses at home, with 24 goals scored and 18 conceded.

After suffering a heavy defeat against Sporting, Vitória SC managed to secure a point against Casa Pia, demonstrating improved defensive form without conceding a single goal. Coach Luís Pinto and his players seem to have addressed their earlier mistakes, particularly issues regarding individual player concentration. With 22 points in 7th place, they are still 5 points behind the 4th position they aspire to reach. This match against Nacional is crucial; a win is essential to maintain the positive momentum that they had built prior to the Sporting game.

Analysis of Nacional

With 4 wins, 4 draws, and 7 losses, the visiting team currently stands in 13th place with 16 points. In their last match, they drew against AVS (2-2) away, following a home victory against Tondela (3-1).

In their last 8 away league games, Nacional has managed 2 wins, 4 draws, and 2 losses, amassing 10 points out of 24 possible.

They have not managed a win as visitors in the last 4 matches. When playing away, the most common results are 0-1 at halftime (3 out of 7 games) and 1-1 at full time (3 out of 7 games). Their defensive solidity has been lacking, having conceded goals in 9 of their last 10 games. However, their attack has been consistently finding the back of the net, scoring in 8 out of their last 10 league matches. There tends to be fewer goals in their away games, as 7 of the last 8 they played featured under 3 goals. In 15 matches this season, they have managed to come back to win only 2 times after conceding the first goal.
