Covilhã vs Academica Soccer Prediction 29 April 2018

Covilhã vs Academica Soccer Prediction for Today

Sporting Clube de Portugal is ranked 13th in the standings with 43 points, 5 more than the Madeira Union, the first team in the playoff zone

When they lack to play 8 points until the end of the championship. They arrive here after 3 games without winning, the last victory was on April 7 against Varzim, after that they lost out with Real (0-3) and Madeira Union (0-1), having divided points at home with the Cova da Piedade (0-0).

Académica is in the fight for the climb and, at great cost, managed to match the punctual record of Santa Clara, runner-up, both now with 60 points.

At a lot of cost because yesterday beat Porto B by 1-0, with a goal scored at 90 + 8 ‘, the last of 8 minutes of discounts that the referee gave.

Already against Real in the previous round, they had won by the minimum margin in Coimbra, and are in a sequence of 3 games to win, started in Famalicão (2-1).

The two teams fight for very different goals and the importance of the game for both is also different.
With 5 points more than the playoff zone, Covilhã does not desperately need to win here, and if they do, they know they guarantee mathematically the maintenance.

Already for the students to lose points means to enter the last double day of the League to depend on more than one slip of the Santa Clara (that is the current scenario) and this can seriously compromise the aspirations to return to Liga NOS.

So, Arouca game, the odds for victory in this outlandish case are already falling a lot

Prediction Covilhã vs Academica:

I believe they will assert their superiority, even because Covilhã at home does not dazzle and against stronger teams lose points, Académica had recently only lost to Arouca and Nacional, candidates for the climb, and so I believe they win.
