Sporting CP B have won their last three games in a row and look to be in really good form right now, though they did lose a couple of matches before that. Academica are also playing well, having won four of their last five, with their only slip-up being a heavy defeat. So both teams come into this one playing confidently.

There's no past history between these two to look back on, so it's hard to judge how their meetings usually go. Both sides seem to be in good shape and evenly matched, which points toward a close, hard-fought game. This one looks like it could go either way, but given how well both teams are playing, a draw feels like a fair outcome.
