As Nacional and Santa Clara seem to be evenly matched at the moment, our prediction leans toward a 1-1 draw. Nacional head into this clash weakened by several absences, with Fernandes, Soares, and Ulisses all out and Daniel Junior plus Leo Santos doubtful. Form remains inconsistent: they average 1.4 goals scored, but with zero clean sheets and 1.6 conceded per game, defensive problems persist. BTTS lands in 80% of their matches, highlighting their fragile back line but decent scoring output.
Santa Clara, on the other hand, have no new injuries after a narrow 1-0 loss to Porto. However, their away form is worrying, taking just 0.25 points per game on the road and failing to score in 75% of away fixtures. Their overall scoring average sits at just 0.8 goals per match, with a solid-but-not-brilliant defense (1.4 conceded).
History favours Santa Clara (6 wins from 12 H2H), but Nacional’s higher scoring and Santa Clara’s away struggles make this matchup more balanced than the odds might suggest. Therefore, we are tempted to bet on Draw, alongside Under 2.5 goals and Half-Time Draw.
This Portugal Primeira Liga match will be played on Sunday 11 January 2026 at 15:30.
