Acad Lobito vs Interclube

Lobito, Angola (Interstat) — Acad Lobito will host Interclube on Saturday in a Girabola matchup at Estádio do Buraco, with both teams seeking momentum in Angola’s top-flight football league.

The visiting side enters on a four-match unbeaten run in league play, though three of those games ended in draws. Interclube most recently tied 1-1 at Sao Salvador Kongo on May 17, following scoreless stalemates against 1 de Agosto and Desportivo Huila. The club’s last victory came May 2, a 3-1 home win over Bravos do Maquis. Overall, Interclube has six wins, seven draws and three losses this season, with 21 goals scored and 15 conceded.

Acad Lobito, meanwhile, has struggled of late, losing its past two matches. The hosts fell 3-0 at Recr Do Libolo on May 17, and dropped a 1-0 decision at 1º de Maio on May 10. In their last 10 outings, Acad Lobito has managed only two wins, against Guelson and 1 de Agosto. The team sits near the bottom of the Girabola table with a 4-6-7 record and a minus-6 goal differential.

The head-to-head history favors Interclube, which defeated Acad Lobito 1-0 in their most recent meeting on Feb. 14. That result extended Interclube’s recent dominance: the visitors have won three of the past four encounters, with the only Acad Lobito victory during that stretch coming in April 2025.

Saturday’s match is projected to be a tight, low-scoring affair. The Interstat game simulator predicts a 1-0 win for Interclube, mirroring the earlier result this season.
