Santa Clara doing an amazing season with this amazing coach Daniel Ramos, they play a beautiful football with the players with a lot of mobility, specially when they play at home in the beautiful island of Azores. At home, in the last 3 games, they won 2 and drew 1, but this draw they played with 9 men vs Tondela and scored the 1-1 even with 9 player and they dominated the whole game. If they win tomorrow against this weak Nacional they will reach 35 points (the same as Vitoria SC) and stay with 9 points behind Pacos Ferreira, in my opinion they can still dream with the 5th place since when I am writing this pick Pacos is losing 3-0 against Benfica and the best player that was in the field received red card, and the best player of the whole squad is injured (Luther Singh). They have the best duo of the centre backs (excluding the top 4 teams) with Fabio Cardoso and Mikel Villanueva. This is an important game for them to get 35 points and to keep this amazing moment. They almost stole points to Porto, but suffered a head in the last minute of the game and they missed Fabio Cardoso and a player in an amazing form (Allano, left winger). They improved a lot since the winter market when they bought Hide Morita, one of the best Japanese players of the moment. They have only 1 player in doubt (the striker, Cryzan) but can be replaced by Rui Costa, I think Cryzan is much better but Rui Costa is not bad too.

Probable line-up: Marco; Rafael Ramos - Fabio Cardoso - Mikel Villanueva - Mansur; Anderson Carvalho - Morita - Nene; Allano - Carlos JR and Rui Costa.

Nacional is doing a terrible season after an amazing season on the last year on the 2nd league. Now they changed coach to a very bad one, Manuel Machado, that was already Nacional's coach from 2012/2013 to 2015/2016 and already coached them some years before, so thats the 3rd time that he joins Nacional. This season he started on Berco of the 3rd division and was doing a terrible season, as they almost were demoted to the 4th league and just guarantee the place on the 3rd league today without him after an incredible investment by them this year. He made only 1 game against Portimonense and lost 5-1 at home, was ridiculous the way they played. The players were just discussing in the field, they didn't know what to do. The most incredible thing was that the last coach Luis Freire was a coach that love to have a lot of ball possession and this one Manuel Machado, the first thing that he said after the match was that they wanted to give the ball to Portimonense because the players feel more comfortable without the ball. What a nonsense choice by the president to buy him. They really need to start winning points if they want to keep in the 1st league, but in my opinion are the worst team of the moment and will have a lot of problems with the mobility of Santa Clara. I think they are already doomed to go down back to the 2nd league.

Probable line-up: Antonio Filipe; Kalindi - Pedrao - Julio Cesar - Witi; Azouni - Ruben Micael - Francisco Ramos; Gorre - Riascos and Rochez.

圣克拉拉（Santa Clara）与他们的教练丹尼尔·拉莫斯（Daniel Ramos）一起度过了一个出色的赛季，他们有很多机动性极强的球员，尤其是当他们在自己的主场比赛时。在主场，最近3场比赛中他们赢了2球，打平了1场，但这场平局是他们以9人对阵通德拉（Tondela）比赛，即使有9名球员也取得了1-1的成绩，他们在整场比赛中占据主动。如果他们明天能战胜实力薄弱的国民，他们将达到35分（与维多利亚SC持平），并以9分落后于帕科斯·费雷拉，在我看来他们仍然可以期待冲击第五名的梦想。他们的法比奥·卡多佐（Fabio Cardoso）和米克尔·比亚努耶娃（Mikel Villanueva）是最好的中卫组合组（不包括前四名的球队）。对于他们来说，这是一场重要的比赛，努力保持目前的状态。他们差点在波尔图身上偷分成功，但在比赛的最后一刻遭受了打击，他们错过了法比奥·卡多佐（Fabio Cardoso）和一位表现出色的球员（阿拉诺，左路）。自从冬季市场购买了目前日本最好的球员之一的森田秀夫以来，他们的进步很大。他们只有1名球员出战存疑（前锋Cryzan），但可以被Rui Costa取代，我认为Cryzan更好，但是Rui Costa也不错。

在去年的葡甲取得了令人惊叹的赛季之后，国民本赛季的表现糟糕透顶。现在他们的教练非常糟糕，曼努埃尔·马查多（Manuel Machado），他从2012/2013年到2015/2016年已经是Nacional的教练，并且几年前已经执教过他们，所以这是他第三次加入国民。这个赛季他第三级别联赛的Berco开始，他们几乎降级到了第四联赛，在得到投资之后，只保证了第三联赛的席位。来到国民后只与波尔蒂芒进行了1场比赛，并在主场以1-5输球，表现十分荒谬。球员们只能在场上交流，他们不知道该怎么办。最不可思议的是，上一位教练路易斯·弗莱雷（Luis Freire）是一位热爱拥有很多控球权的教练，而曼努埃尔·马查多（Manuel Machado）则是赛后首先说的是他们想将球权交给Portimonense，因为球员感觉没有球权会更舒适。俱乐部选中他是很大的失误。如果他们想留在葡超联赛，他们确实需要开始赢得积分，但是我认为他们目前最差的球队，面对圣克拉拉（Santa Clara）会遇到很多问题。我认为他们已经注定要回到第二联赛。
