Fontinhas to get it done

On 6 Liga 3 points, fifth placed Fontinhas host 12th placed Academica. The visitors aren't far behind with 3 points.

It might be small margins but Fontinhas can gather plenty of admirers if they can get the job done here.

For Fontinhas to come through this challenge they'll need to build on the positives of their recent displays. The hosts have got 9 wins under their belt from their last 12 home games while the visitors have lost 12 of their last 18 matches home and away. This doesn't look like the recent record of a team that will fancy their chances.

This home squad is enjoying some form on their own soil. Fontinhas have scored two or more goals in 10 of their recent 13 home matches.

There have been periods when Academica have lost their shape and they haven't had a strong foundation near the 18-yard line. They have conceded two or more goals in 13 of their last 18 matches. And their problems aren't only in their defensive third. The attacking form shown by the visitors has been short of quality. They averaged just 0.5 goals in their last 13 matches.

Don't be surprised if the two sides cancel each other out over an attritional ninety minutes. It's not a strong view among today's fixtures but the No BTTS bet seems like it will be the best play from that market. Also, if you're interested in the goal line, it's Over 3.5 that's the pick given the current prices.
