Academica Coimbra vs Atletico Arcos tips and predictions

Atletico Arcos too short in Taça de Portugal encounter

Atletico Arcos are favourites in the betting. They should be, but they don't provide any value.

Academica Coimbra backers will look at Atletico Arcos's recent results for evidence that they are there for the taking. The visitors are short of form away from home; they've suffered 12 losses from their last 15 away campaigns. To back such a short priced team you might have wanted a better set of results than this.

It won't surprise anyone to see them dismiss the challenge of Academica Coimbra but it's not a formality and a home win is a fair suggestion.

Academica Coimbra will need to be at their best to have any chance. They scored at least once in all of their recent 9 matches and the rest of the squad has also been on point. In their current run they've kept a clean sheet in 4 of their last 9 home games.

Atletico Arcos have actually conceded two or more goals in 9 of their last 12 matches. If there are issues, maybe they are manifesting themselves at the other end of the pitch. In front of goal the visitors have sometimes looked low on ammunition. They've scored one or less goals in all of their last 10 away matches.

To be honest it might be surprise enough to see the sides finish with the stalemate. Atletico Arcos are the favourites and they'll be eager to keep things tight at the back. It isn't a strong view so maybe best to give it a miss but the No BTTS bet is fair enough. Also, if you're interested in the goal line, it's under 1.5 goals standing out in this one after considering the prices available.
