Académica form and stats

Last season, Académica's league statistics were 17 wins, 11 draws and 6 losses, resulting in a 4th position in the Segunda Liga. Over these 34 matches they scored 46 goals and conceded 30. Playing at home last season Académica managed 9-4-4 (win-draw-lost) with 23 goals and 17 conceded.

The fans are hoping that Académica will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-5 away loss in the Segunda Liga game against Rio Ave (placed 1st). As you see from the result above, Académica suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.

A League Cup defeat was the result before that one, 1-2 away at Portimonense.
