Académica form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Segunda Liga this season. Académica, who have the fewest clean sheets (3) in Segunda Liga, have only managed 2 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses from their games here at Estádio EFAPEL.

In their previous game, the manager Duarte led his Académica to a defeat away at Vilafranquense. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Estádio EFAPEL.

Preceding that match was the home game against Feirense that was lost 1-2.

This is expected to be a close game, with Académica perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Académica as a small favourite), we find ten games. Académica has won two of these, drawn three and lost five.

Académica are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 14 goals in 11 games. Académica have conceded 16 in these home matches. Académica has at home met teams with this table position (low), three times. It has ended with less than 2.5 goals 2 of 3 times.

Academico Viseu form and stats

The visitors are W3-D3-L5 on the road this term. That's in the Segunda Liga. Two points from the last two away games for Academico Viseu, which the math geniuses among you will translate to two draws.

Academico failed to get anything from their last game, a home match vs Leixoes (placed 7th) that ended with defeat 1-2.

A 1-1 draw at Farense's stadium before that.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Academico Viseu playing away and similar expectations, we found six relevant matches. Results were three Academico Viseu wins, one draw and two defeats.

The attacking power of Academico Viseu when travelling is not overwhelming with 9 goals scored from 11 league matches away. Academico have conceded 14 goals in these away matches.
