Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Moreirense in 8th and Tondela in 12th place.
- Moreirense haven’t played a single 0-0 game at home.
- Tondela have the fewest points (5) away in Primeira Liga
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
Moreirense form and stats
3-8-2 (win-draw-lost) are the Primeira Liga numbers at home for Moreirense so far this season. Moreirense are slowly digging their own grave here at Parque Desportivo Comendador Joaquim de Almeida Freitas with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in seven attempts. The last victory here came in the Santa Clara match.
It's back home for Moreirense, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Gil Vicente away with the result 2-1. Rafael Martins found the net in that victory. The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Sporting CP.
This is expected to be a close game, with Moreirense perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Moreirense as a small favourite), we find eight games. Moreirense has won three of these, drawn two and lost three.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Moreirense as they are travelling to their away game against Santa Clara in the Primeira Liga. That match is four days after this one.
The Moreirense fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 16 in 13 matches. Moreirense's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 17 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 fewest points (5) away in Primeira Liga, so far with only 5 points returning home. The records show 1-2-10 (win-draw-lose).
The manager F. Ayestarán Barandiarán was unhappy after their last game, a Primeira Liga match played at their home ground Estádio João Cardoso. Tondela suffered a 0-2 loss to Porto (placed 2nd). Preceding that game was the away victory against Vitória SC with the score of 2-1.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found twelve similar matches played by Tondela in our archives, and the results are: two wins for Tondela, two draws and eight defeats.
A quick return to home after this game, as Tondela are hosting Nacional in the Primeira Liga only four days away.
The visitors have scored 12 goals from 13 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Tondela have conceded 30 goals in these games.
