After three games we know a little more about the qualities of Académica and Chaves in this fresh Segunda Liga season. Read our match preview!

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

Académica form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Académica's two home games in the Segunda Liga so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Estádio EFAPEL.

Académica's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 1-2 versus Chaves. Preceding that game was the away draw at Academico Viseu that finished 0-0.

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 six games. Académica has won 4 of these, drawn 0 and lost 2.

Académica has scored 4 goals so far and conceded 4 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.

Chaves form and stats

Chaves are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Segunda Liga, having played 2 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 1 loss).

It's the second away game in a row for Chaves, but there's smiles all around after the 2-1 victory versus Académica in the Segunda Liga last time out. That result followed a home victory 2-1 versus Mafra.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found twelve similar matches played by Chaves in our archives, and the results are: 5 wins for Chaves, 2 draws and 5 defeats.

2 goals so far away for Chaves, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 4. All from 2 league matches away.

Head 2 Head

This is not the first time this season these parties meet, as the history books show this recent fixture: Académica - Chaves 1-2. H2H stats regardless of arena (last one match): Académica 0 wins, 0 draws and Chaves 1 victory. As for goals, 1 match ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), 0 games had two or less.
