Paços de Ferreira have performed here at Estádio da Capital do Móvel this season with 5 wins from 7 Primeira Liga matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 1 game and lost 1. The team is doing great wherever they are playing as Paços de Ferreira has won five games in a row. The Farense match was the last time out without a victory. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Ferreira after consecutive victories at their own ground.

A good away victory last time out for Paços de Ferreira, who won 2-1 against Gil Vicente (placed 17th). Before that match, a win away at Maritimo.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Ferreira's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played four games, won two matches, drawn two and lost zero.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Portimonense are coming to town in four days.

Tondela form and stats

Tondela, who have the most conceded goals (17) away in Primeira Liga, have only collected 1 point from their away games in the Primeira Liga, after 0-1-6 (7 played). Bitter travels for Tondela as they have lost five games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Gil Vicente match.

The supporters enjoyed Tondela's previous game versus Farense (placed 18th), a Primeira Liga 2-0 win played at home. Prior to that match, the Tondela manager F. Ayestarán Barandiarán faced defeat when travelling to Belenenses and losing 0-2.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Tondela playing away, we found two games. Results were one away win, zero draws and one home win.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The Primeira Liga trip to Rio Ave.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Tondela as they have only managed to score 5 times from 7 away games in the league. The Tondela manager F. Ayestarán Barandiarán has some worries about the defense as 17 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: four - three - three (Ferreira wins - draws - Tondela wins). As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), six had two or less.
