Academia Puerto Cabello vs Zamora FC Prediction & Betting Tips - Primera Division

Prediction published on 22/06/2022, 13:33  by Daniel Ngulu in Football Predictions

Academia Puerto Cabello registered a crucial win in their last game, beating league leaders Metropolitanos in the Venezuela topflight, and they will be looking to build on that when they host Zamora. Going into this game, Academia are 14th with 17 points and Zamora third with 29 points. Academia have avoided defeat in their last two matches – a 2-2 draw with Zulia before beating Metropolitanos 2-0 and with five goals in the last three matches, they’ll feel capable of staging another upset here. The only concern will be that they’ve managed just one clean sheet in the last five matches. They haven’t been great defensively, in three of the last four matches they’ve conceded two or more goals. At home, things haven’t been so smooth for Academia; they have one win in five home games, and in three of the five, they’ve conceded two in each.

Zamora will hope to rise from a 3-2 loss at home to Deportivo La Guaira, which denied them the chance to go top of the standings. One top stat they take into this game is a good scoring run, having netted in each of their last five matches. They have been good defensively too, keeping three clean sheets in the last five matches. Antonio Romero has been a top performer for the visitors, scoring three times in their last five matches. Yovani Welch has also chipped in with two goals in the last four matches and these two will be a thorn to the hosts’ defence, which has struggled to keep clean sheets. Away from home, Zamora are undefeated in their last 14 matches, all in the league and thus they take to this game a very good run of form. In the last five meetings with Academia, Zamora are unbeaten.
