Head-to-head statistics Academico V. - Estoril Praia

Academico Viseu Team Overview
In the most recent round, Académico de Viseu won away at Estrela, 2-0. The hosts had more shots (16-8), but the visitors came out ahead on shots on target (4-2) and expected goals (2.05 vs 1.19).
Bruno Pinheiro's side have 11 points - level with fifth-placed Arouca and sixth-placed Braga. Eight of those points have come from four away matches, in which they are unbeaten. In the last two of those they also kept clean sheets. At home the picture is different: three matches, three points, two goals scored. All of that came from a single game - a 2-1 win over Vitória Guimarães. The main attacking threat is André Clovis, who scored in the draw at Benfica. Last round, after his brace, Estrela lost for the first time this season. Against the bottom side in the league, that home imbalance could be corrected.

Estoril Praia Team Overview
Estoril's home match against Casa Pia ended in a 1-2 defeat. In that Primeira Liga round, they had more shots on target (6-3), but lost out on expected goals - 1.9 against 1.25.
Estoril remain the only team in the league without a win. To make matters worse, they are being beaten even by their fellow bottom-of-the-table sides. Nacional, Rio Ave and Casa Pia have each won once this season - all three victories coming against Estoril. The main problem is attack: three goals in seven rounds, the fewest of any team. Top scorer Janis Begraoui is still recovering from an injury. Vasco Matos has matched the worst run of his career: seven matches without a win. In January, an identical run cost him his job at Santa Clara. Estoril's board are still backing their manager for now.

⭐ Editor's Prediction
Estoril have gone 15 Primeira Liga matches without a win. They have problems at both ends of the pitch. In 13 of their last league matches, they have failed to score more than one goal. And they have conceded in each of their last seven away games. That means two goals could be enough for the hosts. We expect Académico de Viseu to claim their second home win of the season. Our bet is Académico de Viseu - Asian Handicap (0). Predicted score: 2-1.
