Varzim vs Academica tips and predictions

Result is not obvious in Liga 3 clash; stalemate in store

There's not much between Varzim and Academica in the Liga 3. The hosts are in eigth place with 4 points, compared to their opponents who are in fifth place on 6 points.

All results are possible here so take all the reasonable steps to understand how they match up.

It has not been easy to pull out the key data in this match-up but given the hosts' recent defensive record at home, the draw is the recommendation. Not giving much away on their own paddock, Varzim have conceded only 1 goal in their last 3 matches.

In previous matches in this head-to-head 1 of the last 3 was a draw.

It would be bizarre to argue that the favourites are a dead-cert here. Don't be surprised if the two sides cancel each other out over an attritional ninety minutes. It is not huge value but the No BTTS bet could be sensible. And if you're interested in the goal line, it's Under 1.5 goals for this one considering the price that's available.

Varzim drew one of their last 3 matches. They drew 2-2 with Covilha last week. Academica have drawn 5 of their last 11 matches. They shared the spoils with Alverca earlier this month and while any draw is predicted, a scoreline of 0-0 shouldn't be dismissed here. It's not very exciting and it feels like a match to sit on the fence about. The draw is the play after what will probably be a low-scoring affair.
