Merelinense take on the visitors Academico Viseu at “Estadio Joao Soares Vieira” in the second-leg game of the Relegation Play Offs of the Portuguese Segunda Liga. The game will be played in Braga on Saturday, June 3rd. The first-leg clash ended with 2:0 scoreline in favour of Academico Viseu.
Merelinense picked up 25 points with 21-14 goal difference in 14 encounters of the Campeonato de Portugal Prio. As a result, the side finished at the second place in the Zone Norte. The strong trace of the current Merelinense is their performance at their own turf: the side has not been broken in face of its fans since the 28th of August 2016 across 18 matches covering 14 victories and four draws. Consequently, Merelinense are sure to follow up the battle for promotion to the Segunda Liga at the home ground.

Academico Viseu failed a little bit in the main part of the season to avoid the Relegation Play Offs. The side occupied the 17th place in the standings of the Segunda Liga with 52 points gained and 49-54 goal difference after 42 rounds being just one point below the safe 16th position. Concerning their football on the road, Academico Viseu picked up points at away turfs in a very convincing manner as for the season’s outsider: the team got 25 points with 26-30 goal difference in 21 clashes.
The first-leg triumph with two-goal margin makes Academico Viseu the favourites of the battle for the place in the Segunda Liga in season 2017/2018. However, the hosts have demonstrated brilliant performance at their own turf in the Campeonato de Portugal Prio and I believe that they will not be defeated at least this time as well.
Prediction for the match: Merelinense to win with 0.0 Asian handicap.
