Académica form and stats

It's not happening yet for Académica on their Segunda Liga travels, with zero points from their first 3 away games. Maybe today will be different? Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Académica's last three away games as they have all been lost.

It's the second away game in a row for Académica, but there's smiles all around after the 2-1 victory versus Alpendorada in the Taça De Portugal last time out.

A loss against Vilafranquense was the result prior to that, in a Segunda Liga home game.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Académica playing away and similar expectations, we found twelve relevant matches. Results were five Académica wins, two draws and five defeats.

The attacking power of Académica when travelling is not overwhelming with 2 goals scored from 3 league matches away. Académica are struggling defensively in their away games, having conceded 2 goals in these matches.
