My Prediction
CD Nacional by 1Right off the bat, let's dive into the deep end and start with the men guarding the nets. Simão has been quite the wall for AVS - Futebol SAD boasting a 7.33 rating with 13 saves. On the other hand CD Nacional's Lucas França has been no slouch either, with a rating of 7.20 and 11 saves under his belt.
Figuring out who's got the edge on the field, we've got some real talent in both teams. AVS - Futebol SAD's got a lethal trio in Baptiste Roux, Jaume Grau and Lucas Piazón. Baptiste has been knocking them pretty consistently with an accurate pass percentage of 82.8 at a rating of 7.20, while Grau and Piazón aren't far behind on the stats.
For CD Nacional we have Ze Vitor, Bruno Costa and Djibril Soumaré doing the heavy lifting. Ze Vitor punching above his weight with a rating of 7.07 and has already found the back of the net once.
In their previous skirmish on the field, neither team could edge the other out, ending the match on a tie. Long story short, both these teams have had their fair share of wins, draws and losses.
AVS - Futebol SAD has scraped out 2 wins, with 9 draws and 6 losses. Not an impressive record, but their recent results show they've been consistent, sneaking in a goal and settling for a draw. It's like they're planning a surprise party and forgot to invite the guests.
Looking at CD Nacional, their season's been as unpredictable as last year's fashion trends, having 4 wins, 4 draws and 9 losses. Not a brilliant record, but their recent results paint a better picture, with a couple of wins and losses sprinkled with a draw.
If you're the betting type, and looking for a pretty penny, here's food for thought. Both these teams have been dancing around each other, settling for draws, but this time around, going by their current form and team’s recent trend, I'd call it in favor of CD Nacional.
Albert's Prediction: CD Nacional by 1
