Tondela are welcoming Farense for another important game after their 0-2 result against 10th-placed Belenenses.
- Tondela has the the worst goal difference (-12) in Primeira Liga
- Farense has the fewest clean sheets (0) in Primeira Liga
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
Tondela form and stats
4-2-2 (win-draw-lost) are the Primeira Liga numbers at home for Tondela, who have the the worst goal difference (-12) in Primeira Liga, so far this season. Two home wins in a row for Tondela bring valid hopes of a third.
The fans are hoping that Tondela will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-2 away loss in the Primeira Liga game against Belenenses (placed 10th). Before that game, the 3-1 home victory against Boavista.
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 eight matches with the results: Won one, drawn six and lost one.
Tondela are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 8 goals in 8 games. It's worth mentioning that 4 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Tondela have conceded 8 in these home matches.
Farense form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Farense, who have the fewest clean sheets (0) in Primeira Liga, so far with only 1 point returning home. The records show 0-1-5 (win-draw-lose). Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Farense's last three away games as they have all been lost.
Farense's previous game was their home loss versus Porto (0-1). That result followed a home victory 3-1 versus Gil Vicente.
It's a bit worrying for Farense that their goalkeeper Rafael Defendi made seven saves in the Porto game last time out, but still couldn't prevent the loss.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Farense playing away and similar expectations, we found nine relevant matches. Results were three Farense wins, three draws and three defeats.
Farense are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 3 goals from 6 away games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Farense's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 10 goals from these trips.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last five meetings: two - three - zero (Tondela wins - draws - Farense wins). As for goals, two matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), three had two or less.Top Goalscorers
