Shaken Benfica hosts Nacional in an intriguing Portuguese Primeira Liga clash from round 15.

The hosts are having a lot to  deal at their squad currently. They come into this game following a defeat to Braga in the Portuguese Cup and a draw in the derby with Porto. That's not the main problem though. The Eagles were struck hard by COVID 19. Half the team will miss the clash due to illness. Their whole defensive line along with the keeper are out + several other players.  Total of 9 players will miss the game due to COVID along with the injured Almeida. The team though is a stable host and still should be able to produce a performance. They have 6 victories from 7 games but none of them with a bigger than 2 goals margin.

Nacional currently sits right above the danger zone. The team needs any points it can salvage. Their away form is far from good with 3 straight defeats in their last 3 games. The good thing is that the team still hasn't lost with more than 2 goals on the road despite picking just 4 points. They have a sturdy defensive line conceding just 8 goals in 6 away games.

Benfica will have some troubles at this game. Their squad is depleted and although they may win I doubt it will be with a huge result. My pick here is Nacional +2.00AH aat odds of 1.69 with GGBET. Good Luck!
