Academica returned to winning ways the previous weekend against Lunda City, a game that ended 3-2. With Maninho's goal leveling the score for Academica in that game, Luis' goal put them in the lead before a 55th-minute goal by Florentino Matemba to extend their lead. However, while Amderson Mputa pulled one back for Lunda City in the 70th minute, denying the home team maximum points was not enough. Heading into this game, the home team has only suffered defeat once this season, coming against Interclube. With seven points from a possible 12, Academica sit 4th in the Angola Girabola standings.
Primeiro de Agosto
Primeiro de Agosto returned to winning ways the previous time out against CD Lunda Sul and will look to keep that rolling. In that game, Primeiro de Agosto needed an 82nd-minute strike after coming from behind to take the lead in the early minutes of the second half. With Aguinaldo Agostinho Matias leveling the score for Primeiro de Agosto in that game, Simão Mabelé's goal put them in the lead. However, with Machado Rupson's goal making the scoreline 2-2, Aguinaldo Agostinho Matias' goal was enough to secure maximum points for this team. Heading into this game, the visiting team remain unbeaten this season, winning three games and drawing one.
Expert Betting Tips
This game could end either way, as it is tough to write either team off. Academica are playing well at home, with just one defeat in recent encounters. However, Primeiro de Agosto are unbeaten this season and slightly favored by the bookies in this encounter. I expect this game to be competitive from the start, but the visiting Agosto have quality in their squad, which should be the difference. Take the road team to win while both teams find the back of the net.
