Atletico Clube de Portugal
- Saturday’s game between 6th-placed Atletico Clube de Portugal (17 points from 13 games) and 7th-placed S.U. 1 Dezembro (15 points from 13 fixtures) is much closer than the league table suggests.
- Atletico, who are on a 2-game winning run, have 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats in their last 5 games while S.U. 1 Dezembro have 1 win, 3 draws and 1 defeat in their last 5.
S.U. 1 Dezembro
Pedro Caneco was appointed head coach of S.U. 1 Dezembro in February 2025 and he has introduced an aggressive, high-pressure, high-tempo game plan that sees his team looking to dominate the middle of the field and counter-attack at speed when they win the ball back.
Head-to-Head
- The recent Atletico victory was a 4-0 thrashing of Dezembro at home in Liga 3, Group B just 2 months ago.
- Of the last 3 head-to-heads, Atletico have won 2 and Dezembro have won 1 with no draws.
- S.U. 1 Dezembro average 1.0 goal per game over their last 5 head-to-head matches against Atletico Clube de Portugal.
- Atletico Clube de Portugal have scored 3 goals in 6 away matches in Liga 3, Group B.
- S.U. 1 Dezembro have conceded only 3 goals in 6 home games in Liga 3, Group B.
Key Players
Diogo Cardoso is the danger man for the hosts, having netted 6 times in 13 Liga 3, Group B fixtures, and 4 of his team's last 6 goals were scored by him.
Betting Insights
- It’s hard to split the teams in the match odds with Dezembro available at 2.85 and Atletico at 2.56, and we’re going for a draw or a narrow home win as they look to solidify their spot in mid-table before the winter break.
- Under 2.5 goals is a heavy favourite at 1.35 and that is certainly our preference in the total goals bet for this game as both teams are solid defensively and don’t score many goals in their respective styles of play.
Prediction
With so little to split the two sides, we can see an individual moment of brilliance or set-piece making the difference between these two in what could be a tight, low-scoring chess match.
