Académica host Benfica B next Friday at 20:45, in a Liga Portugal 2 match. The game takes place in Coimbra, where the home team is looking to recover from a difficult spell in the competition.
The Coimbra side come into this clash after two consecutive defeats. In the last round, they suffered a heavy 1-4 loss away to Penafiel, and previously fell 0-2 at home against Torreense.
This negative run puts pressure on the team, as the headline itself states: no one arrives at Coimbra feeling calm. Benfica B, for their part, look to take advantage of their opponents' unstable moment.
Friday's game thus represents an opportunity for Académica to reverse the negative trend, but the team faces an opponent who are also looking for important points in the standings of the Portuguese second division.
