Segunda Liga: Académica are 13 points short of Trofense, but are inspired to go full throttle. Get this show on the road!
- Académica have the most conceded goals (27) in Segunda Liga
- Trofense have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
This could be an action-packed game with lots of spark and excitement as both squads are well recovered since they last ran out on the pitch. Let's get started!
Académica form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Segunda Liga this season. Académica have only managed 1 win, 2 draws and 4 losses from their games here at Estádio EFAPEL.
Académica drew their last game, 2-2 away at Mafra (placed 7th). Académica salvaged the draw from a difficult situation against Mafra, trailing 0-2 at one point. Not giving up resulted in Reko equalizing.
Preceding that match was a defeat to Chaves (1-2).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 19 games) they have won twelve times, drawn five and lost two.
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. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 11 goals have been conceded.
Trofense form and stats
Playing away, Trofense have won 2 games, drawn 3 and suffered 2 defeats in the Segunda Liga this season. Momentum is building for Trofense in their away games, having won their two previous outings.
Trofense might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Feirense proved too strong as Trofense slumped to a 0-1 defeat in front of their own fans at Estádio do Clube Desportivo Trofense.
Before that one, a nice away victory 3-1 at Varzim.Trofense 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, two draws and one defeat. From a total of four matches.
Trofense are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 8 away goals from 7 games (in the league). 8 goals have been conceded by Trofense in these games.
