Belenenses form and stats

Three Primeira Liga home games done for Belenenses, who are not happy collecting 2 points from these matches. Belenenses are splitting points both home and away, currently holding an interesting streak of four drawn games in a row.

Belenenses shared the glory with Pacos de Ferreira in their last match, an away game that ended all square 2-2. Trouble was brewing at the score 0-2 against Pacos de Ferreira last time out, but a goal from Safira completed a comeback to a draw result for Belenenses. Midfield player Carraça got a match rating of 8.12 in that game, the max score being 10. Carraça served one assist, hit three key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times.

Before that, Belenenses drew at home versus Gil Vicente.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Belenenses have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 14 matches with the results: Won three, drawn four and lost seven.

The Belenenses fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 3 in 3 matches. 4 goals have been conceded.

Tondela form and stats

It's not happening yet for Tondela on their Primeira Liga travels, with zero points from their first 3 away games. Maybe today will be different? Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Tondela's last three away games as they have all been lost.

Impressive finishing from Juan Manuel Boselli, Jhon Murillo and Renat Dadaşov secured the home win 3-2 against Famalicao in their previous game. Neto Borges, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.75. Borges signed up for two assists, hit three key passes and won 4 of 11 duels.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Sporting Braga wasn't a success with a 1-3 loss.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Tondela playing away and similar expectations, we found eleven relevant matches. Results were two Tondela wins, one draw and eight defeats.

The visiting Tondela have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 3 goals from 3 games. Tondela have conceded 7 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head

Head-to-head totals (for the prior ten meetings): Belenenses won five games, four matches ended with a tie and Tondela have one win. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: two / eight
