2.17Tip and bets
Nacional has a great opportunity to escape the relegation zone today and will certainly try to take advantage of it. Despite the crisis, the "white and black" look quite decent on their home field and regularly score, it will be very difficult for Santa Clara to keep a clean sheet. At the same time, the visitors are in excellent shape and are fighting for a place in the top four, they are quite capable of responding with their own goal.
We believe that the match will be productive. Forecast - total over two goals . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.75
Bet on the outcome
Nacional is in a very difficult situation and currently occupies the penultimate place in the table - if they lose points even on their home field, then it will be almost impossible to save the season. From time to time, the "white-blacks" play quality matches at home and today the motivation will be off the charts - it is unlikely that the hosts have a chance to take all three points, but they are quite capable of defending a draw.
Bet - Nacional will not lose. This bet is offered for 1.69
Bet on corners
Nacional will probably spend a lot of time attacking at home, but Santa Clara is quite capable of responding, there should be a lot of corners.
