Nacional vs Porto Prediction
Alvinegros failed to score for the first time in eight league games last week and will look to bounce back in this home game. Their last two wins against the league leaders have been registered at home.
Lucas França, João Aurélio, Ivanildo Fernandes, Ulisses, and Filipe Soares are sidelined for the hosts due to injuries. Léo Santos is suspended, while Gabriel Veron is ineligible to face his parent club.
Dragões have seen a drop in form and are winless in two consecutive games for the first time this season. Notably, they have scored a goal each in their four away games in 2026 and will look to improve upon that record.
Martim Fernandes, Nehuén Pérez, Jakub Kiwior, and Luuk de Jong remain sidelined for the visitors. In-form striker Samu Aghehowa was injured against Sporting and faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines due to a torn ACL.
The visitors have won five of their last six league meetings against Nacional while keeping clean sheets and should be able to eke out a narrow win.
