Nacional aim to pull further clear of the bottom two while Alverca visit Madeira desperate to end a five-match winless start to the campaign.
Nacional sit 12th on 4 points, currently six points and seven places off the Conference League spots with 29 games remaining. They return to the Estadio da Madeira following a 0-2 defeat at Sporting CP, looking to replicate the form that saw them beat Estoril 2-0 in their last home outing.
Alverca occupy 17th place and sit inside the relegation zone after picking up just two points from their opening five fixtures. While Sergio Ferreira’s side has been competitive in front of goal, scoring five times, they are yet to taste victory this season and come into this following a 1-2 home loss against SC Braga.
