Academica vs CD Lunda Sul Prediction: The two teams will settle for a draw

Academica and CD Lunda Sul will square it off at Estádio do Buraco in round 18 of the Angola Girabola League. The last time these two teams faced, Academica secured a hard-fought victory in this venue. How will this game unfold? Below, I preview this game and offer free betting opportunities. 

Academica

Academica played Interclube the previous weekend and could only take a point. In a 1-1 contest, Maninho's strike in the 39th minute was not enough to seal maximum points for this side after conceding in the second half. In the meantime, Academica have not lost any of their last five league games despite winning one in that run. However, at home, Academica have only one defeat in their last nine league games, coming against Wiliete in a 1-3 contest. This season, Academica have accumulated 21 points from 17 league games, which positions them 8th. In those matches, they scored 17 goals and conceded 24.

CD Lunda Sul

CD Lunda Sul played Luanda City during the last weekend and ended on the losing end. In a 2-1 contest, this team conceded twice in the first half, with Mona and Afonso netting for their opponent. However, while Malungo Crespo levelled the score for them after going behind, he could only face a red card in the second half. In the meantime, the visitors head into this game with a winless run of three matches, two against Petro Atletico and Interclube. This season, just like their opponent, CD Lunda Sul have 21 points and sit 9th on the table, scoring 13 goals and conceding 15.
