Nacional - Academico Viseu

Nacional face a stern test of their defensive resolve as they host Academico Viseu at Estadio da Madeira on 7 November 2026 for matchday 11 of the Liga Portugal. The home side enters the contest looking to recover from a narrow defeat against Arouca, a result that highlighted their recent struggles to find consistency in the top flight. With Leonardo Santos and Filipe Soares both sidelined through injury, the expected XI led by Min-Kyu Song and Njoya Kader will need to be at their most clinical to break down a visiting side currently enjoying a resurgence in form.

Academico Viseu arrive in high spirits following a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Rio Ave. Their recent league campaign has been defined by notable resilience, including a statement win against Sporting CP in late October. While their last competitive meetings with Nacional occurred in the second tier, the visitors will look to translate their current momentum into a positive result here.
