Farense form and stats

With 3 Primeira Liga wins, 6 draws and 7 defeats from their home games, Farense, who have the fewest clean sheets (5) in Primeira Liga, are certainly not brimming with confidence. With nine home Primeira Liga games in a row without a win, the Farense fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Gil Vicente game long ago, can be stopped today.

In their previous game, the manager J. Costa Almeida led his Farense to a defeat in the Primeira Liga match away at Porto. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Estádio de São Lúis. The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 2-2 versus Vitoria Guimaraes.

As you see from the result above, Farense suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Farense as they are travelling to their away game against Santa Clara in the Primeira Liga. That match is four days after this one.

Farense has scored 18 league goals at home this season, in 16 matches. Farense's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 20 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Tondela form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Tondela, who have the most conceded goals (35) away in Primeira Liga, so far with only 10 points returning home. The records show 2-4-10 (win-draw-lose). Two points from the last two away games for Tondela, which the math geniuses among you will translate to two draws.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Primeira Liga home defeat versus Belenenses with 1-3 on the scoreboard. A 1-1 draw at Boavista's stadium before that.

A quick return to home after this game, as Tondela are hosting Pacos de Ferreira in the Primeira Liga only four days away.

Tondela are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 18 away goals from 16 games (in the league). The Tondela manager F. Ayestarán Barandiarán has some worries about the defense as 35 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

Tondela - Farense 2-0 was the story when these teams last met, earlier this season. H2H stats regardless of arena (last six matches): Farense zero wins, three draws and Tondela three victories. As for goals, two matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four games had two or less.
