This could be an interesting match as Chaves have their presumed home advantage while Académica are ahead 7 points in the Segunda Liga table.
- Académica has the fewest conceded goals (6) in Segunda Liga
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Chaves form and stats
Chaves have collected 5 points from their Segunda Liga home games so far after 1-2-2.
In their previous game, the manager J. Alves Ferreira Pinto led his Chaves to a defeat in the Segunda Liga match away at Academico Viseu. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Estádio Municipal Eng. Manuel Branco Teixeira. In the preceding match a 2-1 victory visiting Sporting Covilha.
The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Chaves's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played four games, won two matches, drawn one and lost one.
The lack of attacking qualities in Chaves means that they have only scored 2 goals in 5 league home games, less than half a goal per match. Chaves are not conceding a lot of goals here at Estádio Municipal Eng. Manuel Branco Teixeira in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 4 from 5 matches.
Académica form and stats
Académica's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Académica, who have the fewest conceded goals (6) in Segunda Liga, collect 12 points from their 6 away matches in the Segunda Liga. 3 victories and 3 draws have created these points (and only 0 defeats).
There were no winners in Académica's previous match, a Segunda Liga home game that ended 1-1 vs Casa Pia (placed 8th). Prior to that match, the Académica manager R. Gomes Borges faced defeat when travelling to Academico Viseu and losing 0-3.
As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Académica playing away, we found three games. Results were zero away wins, zero draws and three home wins.
Académica are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 6 away goals from 6 games (in the league). The Académica defense is a tough nut to crack, having conceded less than half a goal per away game on average (2 goals in 6 games).
Head 2 Head
Chaves-Académica H2H statistics last two meetings regardless of arena: Chaves one win, Académica one win, zero draws. two of these two matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).Top Goalscorers
