FC Alverca beat Nacional 1-0 in their home fixture in the Primeira Liga four months ago, and our Nacional Madeira Funchal vs FC Alverca prediction is that the visitors will grab another victory on Saturday. Alverca are playing some of their best soccer of the season and have found a real tactical identity under Custodio, while Nacional have been less impressive since the New Year.
Custodio’s balanced 4-2-3-1 approach has Alverca playing proactively at both ends of the field, while the double pivot at the base of their midfield provides the platform for some excellent transition play on the counterattack. The Nacional Madeira Funchal vs FC Alverca preview reveals that Nacional, on the other hand, will line up in a more compact 4-3-3 with Tiago Margarido emphasizing structure and defensive discipline over a free-flowing game.
Alverca set for another away victory
