Vizela and Académica met last July, and it ended in a 3-1 win for Vizela at home. This time the situation is different, because Académica are in their best spell of the season, while Vizela are struggling badly for form. Vizela have lost their last 3 league games in a row, and an attack that used to be a strength has gone noticeably quiet. They still dominate possession more than their opponents (55.4% in their last 10 games), but chance creation has not brought results with it. Académica, meanwhile, are on a 4-match winning run and have scored heavily in several recent games. Their defence still shows some gaps, but overall they clearly look the more ready team. This game is likely to take a shape where Vizela have to be the side pushing forward, because they are at home and need to restore confidence. Académica will likely defend with discipline and wait for the moment to counter at speed, a formula they are good at and that has worked for them over several games in a row.
