Academica vs Bravos do Maquis Prediction: Both teams will share the spoils

Estádio do Buraco will host the Angola Girabola League encounter between Academica and Bravos do Maquis. The last time these two teams faced, Academica secured a win away from home. How will the road team respond this time?

Academica's last league game was against Sao Salvador, and they lost 3-0. In that game, Lito scored a hattrick, which was enough to secure maximum points for his side. However, that defeat was Academica's third in recent times, having lost to Sagrada and Desportivo Huila in prior games. However, this team did well in defeating Carmona and Isaac de Benguela in other matchups, which ended 1-0 and 3-1. This season, Academica have accumulated 14 points from 10 games, leaving them seated in the 9th spot.

Bravos do Maquis held CD Lunda Sul to a goalless draw the previous time out and will eye a win this time. In the meantime, Bravos do Maquis have settled for a draw in three of their last matches, the first two coming against Santa Rita and Kabuscorp, ending 1-1 and 2-2, respectively. However, Bravos do Maquis' lone win in recent encounters was against C.R.D Libolo, while losing to Interclube in that run. This season, Bravos do Maquis have accumulated 14 points, the same as their opponent, leaving time seated in the 8th spot in the standings. 

There is no clear winner in this game, and I would rather rely on a draw. While Academica have been inconsistent, their home performances have been top-notch. However, Bravos do Maquis are a tough team to beat either at home or on the road, and I expect a lot from them. Both teams should focus on defensive play, and a bet on a few goals is a good option.
