Casa Pia and Nacional will battle for three points in a Primeira Liga round four clash on Saturday (August 30th). The game will be played at Estadio Municipal de Rio Maior.
The home side will be looking to bounce back from the debilitating 4-0 defeat they suffered away to Porto last weekend. They were three goals down at the break, with Borja Sainz, William Gomes and Nehuen Perez scoring a goal each. Sainz completed his brace to wrap up proceedings midway through the second half.
Nacional, meanwhile, fell to a 4-1 defeat at home to Sporting Lisbon. They went into the break in the lead through Leo Santos' third-minute strike but were reduced to 10 men when Pablo Ruan was sent off for two bookable offenses. Pedro Goncalves equalized seven minutes into the second half in an eventual second half hat-trick. Conrad Harder also scored in the rout.
The loss left the Funchal outfit in 16th spot in the standings with one point from three games. Casa Pia are 10th on three points.
