We say: Santa Clara 2-1 Nacional

Suffering their first home defeat in near-eight months at the weekend was almost certainly a minor blip given their dominance of the match, so Santa Clara should be confident of returning to winning ways despite the quality of their opponents. Nacional have had some memorable runs in this competition in recent years, but even though they have avoided any of the top-tier giants, this will still be a difficult test for the visitors.
