A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The home fans are optimistic that the difference between 3rd and 16th place in the table will show on the pitch.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Sporting CP form and stats

This stadium, Estádio José Alvalade, has been a fortress for Sporting CP so far this season with the win-draw-loss statistic 14-1-1. Sporting CP haven’t lost a game in 13 attempts regardless of arena, a great achievement. Their last loss was the fixture versus Villarreal. Sporting CP has won so many consecutive home games (six in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Estádio José Alvalade. We remember; it was Villarreal.

Sporting CP are returning here after visiting Belenenses in a Primeira Liga game and winning with a 8-1 scoreline. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Vitória Guimarães in a game that was won 2-0.

With an average of more than two goals per home game (37 in 16 games), Sporting CP's attacking play is working. Sporting CP have only conceded 12 in these games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Tondela form and stats

There's been little loot from Tondela's travels as they have only collected 10 points from 16 away games. Tondela only have 2 wins to counter their 10 defeats and 4 draws. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Tondela's last three away games as they have all been lost.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Primeira Liga home defeat versus Santa Clara with 1-3 on the scoreboard. Preceding that game, the 0-2 loss visiting Marítimo's place.

Tondela are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 17 away goals from 16 games. Tondela have conceded 29 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head

These teams' last encounter with each other was the Tondela - Sporting CP 2-1 earlier this season. Head-to-head totals (for the last seven meetings): Sporting CP won 4 games, 2 matches ended with a draw and Tondela has 1 win.
