Since being beaten in their last game against Arouca in LigaPro competition, Académica will be aiming to make amends here.

A succession of effective displays by the Académica defensive unit has resulted in their ‘goals against’ tally standing at 4 from their previous 6 outings in total. Over that same time, their own forwards have managed to score 7. It will be interesting to see whether or not that trend will end up being sustained into this next match.
