Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

We're suggesting it's fairly unlikely that this game will have 4+ goals, and the odds and stats point in the same direction as KickOff's predictive algorithm on this one. Nacional and Santa Clara have rarely served up thrillers of late, whether that be in Liga NOS individually or in their head-to-head duals. So, without a strong favourite win or double chance market, we're going for under 3.5 goals. You can go for that at a best price of 1.17.

Goal Statistics

CD Santa Clara's defensive record is to be admired, V. Lopes Matos's men having conceded 1 or less in 5 consecutive Liga NOS outings. An underwhelming PG rating of 1.2 for CD Nacional makes sense in this context.
