Prediction: 1-1
Santa Clara
Nacional will look to put an end to their three-game losing run in all competitions when they take on Santa Clara on Matchday 10. Os Alvinegros suffered a dip in form, but there were some positivities in their display in a 3-1 League Cup loss to Sporting on Tuesday. Fit-again forward Dudu is pushing for a rare start, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team. Santa Clara, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-1 win over Gil Vicente.
Vasco Matos’ men, though, are not regarded as good travellers, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on draw. You should know that under 2.5 goals have been in each of their last two meetings in the league. Bearing any fresh injury worries, Vasco Matos is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated Os Galos at the weekend.
