During this period, they've averaged 1.8 goals per game and conceded only 0.6 goals on average, showing strong offensive power and a tight defense. On the other hand, Nacional de Madeira ended up 14th last season, also with an unremarkable performance. In their last friendly, they lost away to Marítimo, suffering two consecutive defeats and remaining winless in six rounds, which reflects a slump in form. Their away record is rather poor, having won only 1, drawn 2, and lost 7 out of the past ten away games, with a low unbeaten rate and weak away - game capabilities. They've managed only 0.6 goals per game on average and conceded 1.6 goals, suggesting a lack of offensive firepower and an unreliable defense. Given these circumstances, St. Clara seems to have a better chance of winning this game due to their superior home - ground performance and current form.
