Preview
Nacional and Sporting Braga face at Estádio da Madeira, in a match for the 21th round of the Primeira Liga. In the last league head‑to‑head, played in 17‑10‑2020, Sporting Braga got a home win by (2‑1). The recent head‑to‑head record favours the away team, since they have a record of 5 wins in the last 5 matches. The home advantage may play an important role in this match , since Nacional presents significant differences between home and away results.

Analysis Nacional

The home team is currently in the 11th position of the league, with 21 points won, after 5 wins, 6 draws and 9 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in a home match against Farense, by (2‑3). In the last match, they lost in an away match against Belenenses, by (2‑1). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 5 draws and 6 losses in away matches, with 14 goals scored and 17 conceded; against 7 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses at their stadium, with 27 goals scored and 20 conceded.

In their home league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 0‑0 (4 out of 10 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. They haven't been able to score the first goal. In fact, they have only opened up the score in 5 of the last 20 matches for the Primeira Liga, they have reached half‑time in advantage in 2 of those 5 matches and have held on to the lead in 3. They have conceded the first goal in 12 of their 20 matches for this competition, and have only turned the score around in 2.

Nacional da Madeira has walked with some tranquility in the struggle for permanence, in a time marked by its return to the Portuguese elite. At the start of the 21st round, the team led by the young coach Luís Freire occupies the 11th place in the league table, with the same 21 points from Belenenses and Tondela, with a three-point advantage for the relegation places. In this return to home games, Nacional will also try to return to the victories, having lost in the last two league matches. First, in the reception to Farense (2-3) and, last weekend, in the visit to Belenenses' stadium (2-1), where it lost due to a penalty already committed in the second half, after Gorre, at 42', having restored equality.
