Covilha vs Nacional Match Preview

Covilha is going to host Nacional in the first stage of the Portuguese League Cup.

The Portuguese League Cup is an interesting competition in which teams are playing in a mini-league format.  In this group, there are 4 teams, and is actually a strong group with Gil Vicente, Portimonense, Nacional, and Covilha. Currently, Covilha is at the bottom of the group having only 1 point. They got a draw against Gil Vicente and lost against Portimonense.

Nacional has one win in this group. They won against Portimonense but lost to Gil Vicente away from home. There have still 4 games to play in this group so everything is open to them. Nacional is in great form with only one loss in the last 9 games.

This is an evenly matched game but Nacional has a slight advantage, in my opinion, because of form and having higher confidence at the moment. Covilha will have the home advantage but Nacional is a better team at the moment and it will be tough for the hosts to win them.
