Season ticket holders at Estádio João Cardoso haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Tondela languishing in the 15th position so far. The guesting Boavista will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Tondela form and stats
5 victories, 3 draws and 6 defeats. That’s what Tondela have to build on here at Estádio João Cardoso.In their previous game, the manager Pepa led his Tondela to a defeat in the Primeira Liga match away at Sporting Braga. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Estádio João Cardoso. Ahead of that match, Tondela won a home game hosting Portimonense (3-2).
This is expected to be a close game, with Tondela perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Tondela as a small favourite), we find eleven games. Tondela has won 5 of these, drawn 3 and lost 3.
The Tondela fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium, the tally being 15 in 14 matches. Tondela have conceded 19 in these home matches.
Boavista form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Boavista so far with only 7 points returning home. The records show 1-4-9 (win-draw-lose). Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Boavista's last three away games as they have all been lost.Boavista are travelling after their nice 1-0 home win in the Primeira Liga against Nacional. Prior to that match, the Boavista manager Lito Vidigal faced defeat when travelling to Porto and losing 0-2.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Boavista playing away and similar expectations, we found 44 relevant matches. Results were 9 Boavista wins, 8 draws and 27 defeats.
The visitors have scored 10 goals from 14 away games, an average of less than one per game. In the opposite end, Boavista have conceded 26 goals in their away games.
