Prediction

  • Vitória SC finished the UEFA Conference League round without a defeat after holding Fiorentina to a 1-1 draw in midweek. Their run of 12 games without defeat in this competition is remarkable and should boost their confidence levels into domestic competitions.
  • Nacional couldn't stop Benfica's attacking superiority and lost 2-0 to the Reds, as expected. They remain in a dangerous position in the league and will have to get some points to ensure that they don't spend Christmas in the relegation zone.
  • Both teams played last Thursday, and fatigue is a factor to take into account. Given that Vitória SC have greater squad depth, they can be expected to come away with all three points.
