Nacional analysis

At the end of round 9 in Liga Portugal, Nacional scored 4 goals and conceded 13 goals.

Recent results have shown that Nacional is struggling to find the back of the net, with a low number of goals scored and a high number of games where they have failed to score. This may indicate that they need to work on creating better chances and improving their attacking efficiency.

With an average ball possession of 45.88% per game in the current league, Nacional cannot call itself a team that holds the game in its hands, rather it prefers the counterattacking strategy. But if they want to try to win the game against Santa Clara they must try to impose their game to create difficulties for their opponents.

The adaptation of Isaac with the new jersey has not been the best. He had another disappointing performance in Nacional last game of the season, against Sporting CP. In the clash, the midfielder failed to be effective and did little for the team. Despite the good expectations for the player, his performance is starting to worry.
