Académica form and stats
Académica have been very modest guests so far, leaving with zero points in all their 4 away matches played so far in the Segunda Liga. A depressing four defeats in a row for Académica in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Rio Ave.
The manager J. Pereira was unhappy after their last game, a Taça De Portugal match played at their home ground Estádio EFAPEL. Académica suffered a 0-4 loss to Famalicão. As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Famalicão was particularly ugly (0-4). The humiliation is still top of mind.
It was a Segunda Liga defeat before that one as the away game against Academico Viseu wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.A quick return to home after this game, as Académica are hosting Porto II in the Segunda Liga only four days away.
Goals are few and far between in Académica's away league games. Only 2 goals from 4 travels. The Académica manager J. Pereira has some worries about the defense as 9 goals have been conceded in these travels.
