Farense
- Farense have scored 0.87 and conceded 1.33 goals per game in 15 home games in Segunda (W4, D3, L8).
- Farense are looking to climb out of the relegation places while Academico will want to keep up their promotion push.
- José Faria has brought more defensive structure to Farense since taking charge in February 2026, getting them to defend in a compact 4-2-3-1 structure.
- The hosts will likely sit deep and look to spring attacks on the counter-attack on Saturday while their visitors will look to dominate the midfield and force mistakes in the advanced positions.
Academico Viseu
- Academico Viseu will look to take the game to their opponents on Saturday in a similar fashion to their 3-0 home win over Feirense last week, which reversed the result from a 4-3 away defeat to Penafiel.
- Sérgio Fonseca’s tactical flexibility and high-tempo approach to the game have seen the visitors rise to second in the table, largely thanks to their ability to press and rotate their players in the offensive third.
- Academico Viseu have conceded an average of 1.47 goals per away game in Segunda (W5, D4, L6).
