My people, e don reach that time again.wey Nacional go meet Casa Pia for di Primeira Liga for Estádio da Madeira this Sunday, February 8, 2026, by 3:30pm. Dis match be like semi-final for dem, as dem dey fight to no enter relegation zone.
Nacional dey try catch up since dem suffer 2-1 defeat from Sporting Lisbon last week. Na dem wey break our heart with dat late goal, but no wahala, we go rise again. Before dat, dem just shine bright as dem scatter Rio Ave 4-0 for di previous match. Na wah, dem dey try gbas gbos up for league, but currently, dem dey sit for 11th with 20 points.
Now, come check Casa Pia! Dis guys don form well this season, as dem just shock di league leaders Porto last week with 2-1 victory. Dem score first for 12th minute, and dat own goal from Tiago Silva just sweet dem mouth like suya. After Porto try to come back, dem still hold dem strong. Just picture am, dem don dey climb from bottom dem go 15th place, gathering 18 points.
But make we no forget sey dem get injury wahala. Nacional no get Ulisses wey dey out due to injury, plus Joao Aurelio and Lenny Vallier wey dey sideline too. Dis squad dey play strong, but injuries dey vex dem like wetin! If dem fit regroup for di match, we fit see some magic.
On di other side, Casa Pia dey miss Kiki Silva and some other defenders like Kaique Rocha wey don dey out for 10 games. Na real wah o! As dem dey try secure three points, dem gatz find way to stop Nacional for dis match. Dem always dey lose when dem travel, but dis new confidence fit change di story.
Head to head, Nacional already win dem 2-0 last August so dem dey fit get confidence coming into dis match. But make nobody underestimate Casa Pia, because dis season na dem dey show sey anything fit happen!
So my people, make we dey watch out for how dem go perform. Di match go determine who fit dey free from relegation worries. Na draw we go collect for dis match if both teams fit hold dem side well, but no be any ‘small goal’ o! Abeg make una get ready, because dis encounter fit burst our heads with plenty action!
