Mafra vs Academico Viseu Prediction & Betting Tips (9 November)

Mafra have not been in the best of form on their own patch recently, winning just two of their previous 14 top-flight matches, and the Seagulls have actually been beaten in four of their last six home games. Academico Viseu, by way of contrast, have enjoyed eight wins in 13 the Liga Portugal 2 fixtures of late, and they have splashed the cash on new players this summer.

Over the course of their last 19 matches at the top table of the Liga Portugal 2, Academico Viseu have been involved in 16 encounters containing three goals or fewer, including a defeat at home to Mafra. Mafra, 18 of their most recent 21 top-flight home games have also delivered under 3.5 goals, so more of the same is expected.

It has been quite an unusual experience to see Mafra both score and concede during the same 91 minutes in a Liga Portugal 2 fixture recently, with this happening just three times out of a possible 11. Given that only six of the previous 21 top-flight games involving Academico Viseu have produced goals at both ends, at least one of the two keepers should pitch a shutout here.
