Team News

Nacional
Santa Clara
  • Dudu, with a sprained ankle, and Dyego Souza, with muscular discomfort, will miss out on Monday.
  • Rúben Macedo put in a decent performance in midweek and will push for a start here.
  • Venâncio, with a muscular problem, will join Pedro Pacheco on the sidelines.
  • Vasco Matos made a lot of changes in midweek against SL Benfica and will likely return to the usual starting XI here.

Prediction

  • As expected, CD Nacional lost to Sporting, but the team performed well in Alvalade, withstanding their opponents' pressure for 50 minutes. Despite their performance, they extended their winless streak to six games during which they lost five of those matches, dragging them into the relegation zone.
  • Despite losing at the Estádio da Luz, Santa Clara put in a good performance against Benfica. Vasco Matos' men are off to a great start in the league, and are currently fourth in the league table, just behind the title contenders.
  • Santa Clara's trips to the Choupana have been very fortunate lately, with the Azoreans claiming points on their last four games there. This run should be extended on Monday, given the contrasting form of both sides.
