The visiting Académica side should be favourites in this visit to Varzim, as the away team holds a 13 point advantage from their 33 league games this season.

Varzim form and stats

6 victories, 4 draws and 6 defeats. That’s what Varzim, who have the fewest scored goals (24) in Segunda Liga, have to build on here at Estádio Varzim Sport Club.

The home team returns to Estádio Varzim Sport Club after sharing the points with Cova Piedade on their last time out; the Segunda Liga game ended 0-0. Preceding that match was a defeat to Famalicão (1-4).

Varzim are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home, having created 18 goals in 16 matches. Varzim have conceded 19 in these home matches.

Académica form and stats

Playing away, Académica have won 6 games, drawn 3 and suffered 7 defeats so far this season.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Segunda Liga home defeat versus Sporting Covilhã with 0-2 on the scoreboard. Prior to that match, the Académica manager João Alves faced defeat when travelling to Cova Piedade and losing 0-2.

The attacking power of Académica when travelling is not overwhelming with 14 goals scored in 16 matches. As opposed to that, Académica have seen the ball go into their own net 19 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Académica - Varzim 2-0. Varzim-Académica H2H statistics last five meetings regardless of arena: Varzim 1 win, Académica 4 wins, 0 draws. 1 of these five matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
