Estoril – Nacional

Estoril host Nacional in what promises to be a decisive clash for both sides in the lower half of the table. The home side sit 17th with just two points from five games, having failed to win and conceding seven goals while only scoring twice. Nacional sit three places above them in 14th place, holding four points after a solitary victory and a draw, but their defense has also been porous, letting in 11 goals. With Estoril desperate for their first win and Nacional looking to cement a modest climb, the encounter could prove pivotal in the battle to avoid the relegation zone. Both teams will need to tighten up at the back if they hope to turn the tide in the remaining fixtures.
