Sporting CP B
- Sporting CP B are second in the Liga Segunda 2025/2026 table with 29 points from 15 games, three points better than Academico Viseu who are third.
- Sporting B have won five of their seven home matches in Liga Segunda, averaging 2.00 goals scored and 0.71 goals conceded.
- João Gião has instilled a progressive, attacking style of play on his young charges this season, with a 3-4-3 system that includes wing-backs who push up and create overloads in wide areas.
- The B team have been in mediocre form of late, winning two, drawing one and losing two of their last five, including an anomalous 0-2 away win at struggling Felgueiras 1932.
Academico Viseu
- Academico Viseu are in good form with two wins, two draws and one defeat in their last five, and are unbeaten in two on the road.
- Sergio Vieira has implemented a similar style, and his adaptability since January 2025 has been key to them maintaining their position in the promotion battle.
- Viseu’s away performances this season have been impressive with four draws and two wins from eight road games, averaging 1.88 goals per game scored and conceding 1.38 on average.
Key Players
- Sporting CP B’s Rafael Nel has bagged six Liga Segunda goals in 14 appearances so far this term and is a consistent threat to any second-tier defence, but Andre Clovis is the league’s standout player up front with 12 goals in 16 games for Viseu.
- Joao Guilherme has three of Viseu’s last six goals and is a good value bet to find the net any time on Sunday.
Betting Insights
- Sporting B are narrowly priced as favourites by the oddsmakers at 2.44, but Viseu are very capable of securing a result against the odds at 2.88, with the draw set at 3.0.
- Over 2.5 goals looks a solid play for Sunday’s game at 2.15 as both of these teams will look to be positive in this contest and a high-energy, back-and-forth affair is likely to ensue.
Prediction
- An open game should ensue between promotion-seeking sides.
- The hosts’ home record and hunger to play on the front foot make them just narrow favourites in this one.
