Santa Clara vs Nacional
📖 The Preview
Santa Clara look the more likely winners here and that form tells you why. Four wins from their last five is decent going, while Nacional have managed just one win in ten and keep drawing games they probably feel they should be taking. The head-to-head is fairly balanced historically, so Nacional will fancy a point, and they should get on the scoresheet, but Santa Clara at home with that momentum behind them looks good for three points in what should be a decent little game.
