Nacional vs Santa Clara Betting Tips: Santa Clara or Draw

Santa Clara will be confident of maintaining their superb early-season form when they travel to the Island of Madeira on Monday. 

Nine games into the new season, the Azoreans find themselves flying high in the Primeira Liga with 18 points already on the board. Vasco Matos´s men continued their excellent recent form with a 2:1 win against Gil Vicente in their most recent league fixture last weekend. 

With three wins in their last four league fixtures, including two on the road, Santa Clara have surprised many with their early form, and now sitting 4th in the division, have ever reason to be confident against a Nacional side that have struggled to adapt to life in the top flight.

Picking up just five points from eight games played, the home side have already suffered five defeats, and with just one win to their name, could struggle to deal with the in-form visitors.

Short on firepower - Tiago Margarido´s men scored just four goals in eight games - the hosts will need to improve if they are to take anything from a fixture that has not proven particularly favourable for Nacional in recent season. Unbeaten in their last five visits to this venue, Santa Clara have a strong record in Madeira and considering their superb early-season results, will be optimistic of picking up a positive result on Monday.

Backing Santa Clara not to lose should prove a safe play while those who fancy a bigger punt can take their chances on the visitors claiming all three points.
