My Prediction
Vitória SC by 1In the Liga Portugal matchup, we have Vitória SC lining up against CD Nacional.
Both teams boast goalkeepers who'd give their right arm just to swat the ball away. CD Nacional's got Lucas França between the sticks, with an outstanding rating of 7.10 and 10 saves to his name. On the other end, Vitória SC has entrusted their net to Bruno Varela, who's a bit further down the grade scale with a 6.50 rating and a mere 2 saves.
Steering the field for CD Nacional, we have top players like Ze Vitor and Luís Esteves, and they've had no goals to their name lately but are quite impressive in passing, keeping the ball 82.3% and 79.5% accurate respectively. Oh, and then there's Ulisses who boasts 1 goal and an 85.6% accurate pass rate.
On the Vitória SC side, guys like Manuel Silva and Tiago Silva seem to be running the show, although they seem to keep the ball more on their feet than into the net - except for Manuel, who has one goal so far.
Now, if we consider their regular season record, it seems Vitória SC is in a somewhat merrier mood, boasting 6 wins, 4 draws, and 4 losses, while CD Nacional wringing their hands with 3 wins, 3 draws, and the less glamorous 8 losses.
Looking at team form, CD Nacional seems to be having the rug pulled out from under their feet, with 3 losses and 1 draw in the past 5 matches. Vitória SC, on the other hand, has been a little less miserable, with 2 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses in their recent results.
After much way too serious analysis, I warrant you a prediction. So without further ado, here it is:
