Feirense
Feirense returns this season to the 1st league after more than 10 years of absence with the single purpose to stay amongst the best teams in Portugal, but this task should be very hard to accomplish by the team from the small city of Feira.
Only a few players from Feirense had already played in the first league so there is much inexperience and youth in this team the same happens with their coach as it's his first time working in the 1st league also.
Some of their best players last season left the club after the promotion last year and Feirense are still trying to get some players on loan from bigger clubs till the last day of signings in the end of the month.
During pre-season Feirense played 8 matches with only 1 win 3 draws and 4 losses.
Nacional Madeira
Nacional kept most of the team from last season where they achieve a europeans competition spot and a 6th place in the league despite changing coach in the middle of the season. Their ambition this year is also finishing in a position that gives them a place in the european competitions.
Nacional Madeira lost two good players, keeper Bracalli moved to FCPorto and Bruno Amaro plays currently at V.Setubal. On the other hand Nacional made some good signings featuring Candeias a very good winger and also Venezuelan striker Mario Rondon star of Paços Ferreira last season with 9 goals.
Nacional already played 4 official games in the Europa league playoffs with 2W 1D 1L.
Head to Head
Feirense and Nacional last match was when they both played in the second league back in 1998 and it was 1-1 draw.
The Betting Verdict :
Nacional has better players, better team, already played official games with a good performance in the Europa league playoff where they will find Birmingham City next week.
Feirense is a team that isn't complete yet with a lot of fresh faces that will be nervous with their debut in the first league despite playing at home.
The odds are very good for Nacional and I strongly believe in an away win but if you prefer to play safe the odds on AH(0) are very good also (1.80 at the moment).
The Pick :
Feirense 1 - 2 Nacional
BEST BETTING TIP :
Main Bet :I will take Nacional Madeira to win at 2.60
