Academica come into this match in good shape, having won four of their last five games. Their only setback was a heavy loss, but they have bounced back with several wins since. Amarante have been much less consistent, with a win, a couple of draws, and two losses in their recent games, so they look like the team that is struggling more right now.

These two teams have not met recently, so there is no history of high-scoring games between them to point to. Based on recent form, Academica look the stronger side and should be able to win this one.
