Tondela form and stats

It's not happening yet for Tondela on their Primeira Liga travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games. Maybe today will be different? It's looking increasingly bleak for Tondela who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Santa Clara was the last time a defeat was avoided.

Home advantage was not enough for Tondela in their previous game, as they lost their Primeira Liga-match, hosting Estoril, 1-2. Neto Borges was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 7.44. The defender Borges served one assist, hit two key passes and won 7 of 11 duels.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Benfica wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.

You'll want to know how Tondela managed when outsiders such as today. Our database found four similar matches resulting in zero away wins, zero draws and four home wins.

2 goals so far away for Tondela, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 4. All from 2 league matches away.
