Here's every single thing you must be aware of, and then some, before the Santa Clara - Tondela game!
- Santa Clara haven’t played a single 0-0 game.
- Tondela have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored away.
The visiting Tondela played their last game only four days ago, a Taça De Portugal match. That game, against Rio Ave, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Tondela.
Santa Clara form and stats
Santa Clara have played 9 Primeira Liga games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 4-2-3 (wins-draws-losses). Nine out of nine points from the last three home games for Santa Clara, and the home supporters are ready to scream their lungs out to keep the winning streak alive.
Santa's last game was hosting Sporting CP (placed 2nd) and winning 3-2. The victory against Sporting CP came after Ricardinho's winning goal. The Santa Clara manager de Sousa was very happy afterwards with the decision to bring on that player in the 70th minute. Lincoln (midfield was the top team player in that game with a rating of 8.14/10. Lincoln scored one goal, served one assist, hit three key passes and dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times.
A defeat was the result before that one, 1-2 away at Pacos de Ferreira.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 Santa's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played three games, won one match, drawn two and lost zero.
Santa Clara has scored 10 league goals at home this season, in 9 matches. It's worth mentioning that 6 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 16 goals have been conceded.
Tondela form and stats
There's been little loot from Tondela's travels as they have only collected 4 points from 8 away games in the Primeira Liga. Tondela only have 1 win to counter their 6 defeats and 1 draw.
Two travels in a row for Tondela, whose manager Barandiarán could celebrate last time after the Taça De Portugal win against Rio Ave (after extra-time). Dadaşov came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Rio Ave last time out, making the manager Barandiarán feel like a tactical genius.
Ahead of that match was the Primeira Liga away draw versus Boavista that ended 1-1.Looking at the earlier recent performances of Tondela when being an outsider away as they are today, we find four matches with the visitors losing one time, drawing two and winning one game.
The visiting Tondela have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 8 goals from 8 games. Tondela have conceded 17 goals in these games.
