Moreirense form and stats

Moreirense's results here at Parque Desportivo Comendador Joaquim de Almeida Freitas in the Primeira Liga have been very modest with 3 victories, 3 draws and 8 defeats. When Moreirense hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Vizela, Belenenses, Famalicao, Arouca and Moreirense), they have won 2 of 3 matches! The season ticket holders are starting to dread their visits here at Parque Desportivo Comendador Joaquim de Almeida Freitas, with the home team losing four in a row. They have not avoided a defeat here since the Belenenses game.

Happy days for Moreirense in their previous game, a fixture away at Gil Vicente (placed 5th) that ended with a 2-1 victory. Pacheco was on the receiving end of a red card in the Moreirense-Gil Vicente match, being sent off in the 47th minute. The game was drawn at that point, but the home side still managed to pull off a 2-1 victory. Midfielder Jefferson was the best player on the team with a rating of 9.04 (out of ten) in that game. Jefferson scored two goals and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

Before that game, the home loss against Vitoria Guimaraes with the scoreline 0-1.

Moreirense are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 15 goals in 14 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. On the other hand, Moreirense have conceded 20 goals.

Tondela form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Tondela so far with only 11 points returning home. The records show 3-2-9 (win-draw-lose).

The manager Campos was unhappy after their last game, played at their home venue Estádio João Cardoso. Tondela suffered a 1-3 loss to Sporting CP (placed 2nd). Tondela goalie Trigueira took pride in a top-notch shift versus Sporting CP, but in spite of managing six saves the beating could not be avoided.

Preceding that game was the away victory against Marítimo with the score of 3-1.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The Taça De Portugal trip to Mafra.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Tondela have scored 16 goals in 14 league games away.
