Académica have collected 2 points from their Segunda Liga home games so far after 0-2-3. All in all it has been a very rough period for Académica who hasn’t won a league-game in their last eleven attempts. Their previous win was against Rio Ave, 112 days ago.

Académica's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 1-2 versus Porto II (placed 11th).
