Only a win will satisfy the home supporters in this Estadio Joao Cardoso clash with Belenenses, having a healthy lead on the opposition in the Primeira Liga table.
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.
Tondela form and stats
When playing at home in the Primeira Liga, Tondela have managed 1 win, 1 draw and suffered 3 defeats from 5 games.
Tondela lost their last game at Pacos de Ferreira (placed 17th) after a 0-1 scoreline. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Sporting CP in a game that was won 1-0.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Tondela have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found five games) they have won 4 times, drawn 1 and lost 0.
Tondela aren't scoring a lot here at Estadio Joao Cardoso in the league, with only 3 goals from 5 games. On the other hand, Tondela have conceded 6 goals.
Belenenses form and stats
Belenenses have only collected 5 points from their away games in the Primeira Liga, after 1-2-3 (6 played). Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Belenenses's last three away games as they have all been lost.
Two away games in a row for Belenenses, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-1 versus Chaves in the Taça De Portugal. A 0-2 defeat away at Sporting CP before that.
We have checked recent matches where Belenenses have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those nine games were W2-D7-L0.
The attacking power of Belenenses when travelling is not overwhelming with 4 goals scored from 6 league matches away. In the opposite end, Belenenses have conceded 11 goals in their away games.
Head 2 Head
Last ten meetings between the teams: Tondela won 1, Belenenses won 5 and 4 draws. 5 games with over 2,5 goals, 5 matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
