Nacional Académica betting prediction

The away team is currently in the 6^th position of the league, with 32 points won, after 9 wins, 5 draws and 7 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in an away match against Chaves, by (1‑2). In the last match, they tied in a home match against Mafra, by (0‑0). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 4 draws and 7 losses in away matches, with 12 goals scored and 15 conceded; against 8 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses at their stadium, with 25 goals scored and 23 conceded.

In their away league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 0‑0 (5 out of 10 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 21 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 10 times and have only turned the score around in 2. In the last 10 away matches for this competition there are 2 periods that stand out: they have scored 4 of their 11 goals between minutes (76'‑90'); they have conceded 4 of their 11 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Académica de Coimbra comes to this challenge after a 0-0 draw at the reception of CD Mafra, in a game counting for LigaPro's twenty-first round. In a match in which the home team had the best goalscoring opportunities, at eighteen and thirty-one minutes, both led by Barnes Osei, who shot to the goalpost while isolated. The same player at sixty-four minutes would come to be in the spotlight for the worst reasons, seeing the second yellow and the respective red, thus leaving the local team playing in numerical inferiority for the last thirty minutes. With this result, the "students" increased the losing streak to four games without relishing the taste of defeat in this event, where they are in the sixth position on the league table.
João Carlos Pereira's team is expected to present in a 4-4-2, with Filipe Chaby and Donald Djoussé to be the main figures in Briosa's attack. For its part, the central corridor should be formed by Traquina, Ricardo Dias, João Mendes and Leandro Silva. For this game, away from home, the foreign coach is only deprived of Barnes Osei.

Confirmed Lineup: Mika, Arghus, Francisco Moura, Mike, Zé Castro, Ricardo Dias, Filipe Chaby, Derik Lacerda, Marcos Paulo, Leandro Silva.
Coach: J. Gomes da Silva.
