Tondela form and stats

1-5-1 (win-draw-lost) are the Segunda Liga numbers at home for Tondela so far this season. The trend of drawing games is also valid regardless of arena as Tondela has five draws from their last five matches.

An away draw last time out for Tondela, facing Feirense in a game that ended 1-1. The result 1-1 has occurred to the home team three league matches in a row!

Before that game, a defeat in the away fixture against Academico Viseu in the League Cup. This is expected to be a close game, with Tondela perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Tondela as a small favourite), we find 6 games. Tondela has won 3 of these, drawn 2 and lost 1.

Some stats: A review of the 13 latest league games shows that 11 of them had at least one goal from each side.

The Tondela fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 8 in 7 matches. 8 goals have been conceded.
