A spot in the Taca de Portugal quarter-finals will be at stake when Santa Clara and Nacional square off against each other at Estadio de Sao Miguel on Thursday evening. Santa Clara aim to recover from the Liga Portugal 2 loss to Mafra and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against the Black and Whites. Midfielder Ricardinho is widely expected to return to the starting XI after coming as a substitute in Saturday’s defeat.

Nacional, on the other hand, head into the match following a 1-1 draw with Tondela. As Santa Clara are tough to beat at home, we believe that punters from all four corners of the world can find value in betting on draw. In their last meeting in the Portuguese top flight the two sides played out a 1-1 draw and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. There are no fresh injury worries in the visiting team ahead of the trip to Ponte Delgada.

圣克拉拉队和国家队将于周四晚上在圣米格尔体育场进行一场比赛，届时能否进入葡超1 / 4决赛将是一个关键问题。圣克拉拉的目标是从输给马夫拉的葡乙联赛中恢复过来，他们很可能会全力以赴地对抗黑白军团。中场里卡迪尼奥在周六的比赛中替补出场后，被广泛认为将重返首发阵容。

另一方面，国家队在1-1战平通德拉后进入比赛。由于圣克拉拉很难在主场击败，我们相信来自世界各地的投注者都能在投注平局中找到价值。在葡萄牙顶级联赛的最后一次交锋中，两队1-1战平，我们预测历史将会重演。在客场挑战德尔加达之前，客队没有新的伤病问题。
