The hosts and Rio Ave both threatened to score three times last Sunday as they had an equal number of big chances in the match, but the latter was more dominant with an expected goal creation (xG) of 2.05, well above Nacional’s 0.63 xG.

The loss leaves Nacional sitting in the relegation playoff position in the league and only one point ahead of the two teams that would be directly relegated from the current season in LigaPro but Nacional is equal on points, difference, goals for and against with Farense who is but only positioned in the 15th spot.

Manager Tiago Margarido will be concerned that the regularity in which his team creates chances is only supported by a top-flight return of 11 goals which is only bettered by two clubs, however the home side’s 23 goals conceded is the leagues joint ninth-best tally.

The Nationalists appear to be out of sorts, having lost four and drawn two of their last eight league games, and have finished on the losing side in nine of the past 14.

At least, Margarido’s side have been(styles) hard to dismiss from their home ground where the club has won three and drawn one of their seven matches in Estadio da Madeira associating the fact that two of their three losses are to formidable sides in Sporting Lisbon and Benfica.

Simply, Porto dominated Boavista on Saturday, in advance of putting in seven big opportunities in contrast with their rivals that created no free opportunities on their own.

Head coach Vitor Bruno will be pleased to note that his side has been able to capitalize on the fact that Sporting have lost 8 points in the 5 league matches as compared to their accumulation of 13 points in the same period.

The Dragons, who are Darkinjung’s title favourites, have been incredible in front and at the back with 40 goals scored and nine goals conceded in the league and these are the second-best attacking and the joint-best attacking statistics in the top tier.

In their most recent match, Nacional lost. On the road against Rio Ave, the score was 2-1 at Estadio dos Arcos. Bruno Costa scored the goal for the White and Black, who had 51% possession and two shots on goal.

The last three games have been won by FC Porto. The most recent was a 4-0 victory over Boavista at home at Estadio do Dragao. In addition to having an incredible 76% of the ball and seven shots on goal, Vitor Bruno's team also had two goals from Samuel Aghehowa, Nico Gonzalez, and Rodrigo Mora.

The previous time the two teams played, Porto won on the road at Estadio da Madeira. defeating Nacional with a score of 1-0.

 

With two goals, Isaac Aguiar leads the field, followed by Bruno Costa, Joao Aurelio, Jose Gomes, and Ulisses Rocha, each with one. With one each, Isaac Aguiar, Daniel Penha, and Dudu Teodora have the most assists. Lucas Franca, the goalie, has maintained four clean sheets in the interim.
