Preview
Nacional and Sporting face off at Estadio da Madeira on this first leg match of the semi-finals of the Portuguese Cup.
Nacional comes into this match following a big victory by 3-0 at home against Setubal. The Madeira team has only lost 4 games at home this season. They are at the moment the 8th placed team on the league with 31 points.
Sporting is passing through some inconsistencies with 3 draws, 2 losses and only 1 win on the last 6 matches. They have scored little lately with only 2 goals on the last 4 matches.
The head-to-head history favours the visitors with the last Nacional win all the way back in 2011.
Analysis Nacional
Nacional will probably concentrate its efforts on the defensive process with the intent of allowing no chance for the opponent to strike at their goal.
The team has the tendency to adopt a very direct style of play with numerous ball being delivered through the air into the opponent’s box.
Lucas Joao is the main target up front, a finisher that always creates chances but sometimes has a hard time finalizing them.
Confirmed Lineup: Gottardi, Fernando Marçal, João Aurélio, Rui Correia, Zainadine Júnior, Ali Ghazal, Luís Aurélio, Saleh Gomaa, Tiago Rodrigues, Lucas João, Marco Matias.
Coach: V. Simões da Vinha.
Analysis Sporting CP
The Lisbon team has an appealing football although lately they have been faltering and losing their momentum and confidence.
Sporting will probably adopt their usual 4-3-3 formation with Nani Carrillo and Montero up front, with a midfield of three elements, probably Joao Mario, Adrien and William.
Notice that, this being a Cup game, Marco Silva may opt to rotate some players of the squad.
Confirmed Lineup: Rui Patrício, Jefferson, Miguel Lopes, Paulo Oliveira, Tobias Figueiredo, André Carrillo, André Martins, Carlos Mané, William Carvalho, Junya Tanaka, João Mário.
Coach: R. Amorim.
