Boavista and Tondela should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

Boavista form and stats

Boavista have played 8 Primeira Liga games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-4-1 (wins-draws-losses).

Boavista shared the glory with Vitoria Guimaraes in their last match, an away game that ended all square 1-1. The attacker Sauer won the honour of being "man of the match" for Boavista with the rating of 7.85/10. Sauer hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 2 of 3 times.

Ahead of that match, Boavista won a home game hosting Moreirense (1-0).

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Boavista have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found nine games) they have won two times, drawn five and lost two.

The Boavista fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 11 in 8 matches. 8 goals have been conceded. It's worth mentioning that 6 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.

Tondela form and stats

Tondela have only collected 3 points from their away games in the Primeira Liga, after 1-0-6 (7 played). 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 Anjos and Manu secured the home win 2-1 against Moreirense in their previous game. The end of the last match, against Moreirense, was very satisfying as Manu scored the winning goal deep into overtime. Attacker Anjos got a player rating of 8.3 in the game. "Man of the match" Anjos scored one goal, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

The game before that, was lost at home, a 0-3 defeat against Gil Vicente.

We have checked recent matches where Tondela have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 14 games were three victories, four draws and seven defeats.

The schedule is very tough for Tondela now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Taça De Portugal game at Rio Ave is waiting in only four days.

Tondela are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 7 away goals from 7 games (in the league). Tondela have conceded 16 goals in these games. It's worth mentioning that 9 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.

Head 2 Head

Last ten meetings involving these squads: Boavista won one, Tondela triumphed in four and we saw five draws. two games with more than 2,5 goals, eight matches with two goals or less.
