Season ticket holders at Estádio João Cardoso haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Tondela languishing in the 14th position so far. The guesting Boavista will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Tondela form and stats
Tondela's results here at Estádio João Cardoso in the Primeira Liga have been very modest with 1 victory, 4 draws and 6 defeats. Tondela has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager J. González Sáenz and the players.
In their previous game, the manager J. González Sáenz led his Tondela to a defeat in the Primeira Liga match away at Vitória SC. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Estádio João Cardoso. Before that game, the home loss against Rio Ave with the scoreline 1-2.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Tondela have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found twelve matches with the results: Won three, drawn six and lost three.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Tondela here at Estádio João Cardoso in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (6 from 11 games). 14 goals have been conceded.
Boavista form and stats
The visitors are W4-D3-L4 on the road this term. That's in the Primeira Liga. It's a growing despair in Boavista as they have recorded three consecutive losses.
Boavista aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 185 league minutes without a goal. R. Lima (own goal) was the last player to find the net.
Boavista's previous game was their home loss versus Gil Vicente (0-1). A 0-2 defeat away at Sporting CP before that.
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 16 relevant matches. Results were six Boavista wins, three draws and seven defeats.
