Académica form and stats
Académica, who have the fewest conceded goals (4) at home in Segunda Liga, are steadily winning Segunda Liga games and points here at Estádio EFAPEL. 5 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat is the summary from 7 games.
Académica travelled for their previous game, a trip to Benfica II that ended 2-2. Ahead of that match, Académica won a home game hosting Mafra (1-0).
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Académica have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 16 games) they have won twelve times, drawn four and lost zero.
The Académica fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 10 in 7 matches. Académica are not conceding a lot of goals here at Estádio EFAPEL in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 4 from 7 matches.
Leixões form and stats
Leixões have only collected 5 points from their away games in the Segunda Liga, after 1-2-5 (8 played).
247 minutes! That's how long the Leixões goalkeeper Igor Stefanovic and his defense have shut out their league opponents.
Impressive finishing from Kiki Silva and Nenê secured the home win 2-0 against Vilafranquense in their previous game. Prior to that match, a home win 1-0 against Chaves.
Leixões are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, zero draws and four defeats. From a total of five matches.
The attacking power of Leixões when travelling is not overwhelming with 5 goals scored from 8 league matches away. As opposed to that, Leixões have seen the ball go into their own net 11 times on the road.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: five - three - two (Académica wins - draws - Leixões wins). As for goals, five matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), five had two or less.Top Goalscorers
