Primeira Liga: What this match might not have in glitz it should make up for in guts and enthusiasm. Let's go: Tondela - Paços de Ferreira!
- Tondela have the fewest matches under the total-line (2) in Primeira Liga
- Paços de Ferreira have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored away.
Tondela and Paços de Ferreira should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Tondela form and stats
Tondela have collected 9 points from their Primeira Liga home games so far after 3-0-3.
Tondela lost their last game at Vitória SC (placed 5th) after a 2-5 scoreline. Did Tondela get overconfident in their match against Vitória SC? We'll let you decide, but they did lose a 2-0 lead to end up with a 2-5 defeat. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today? Salvador Agra (midfield was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.42/10. Agra served one assist, hit two key passes and had 24 successful passes (of 25 total).
A defeat was the result before that one, 0-2 away at Sporting CP.Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Taça De Portugal game versus Estoril in only three days. This game is also played here at Estádio João Cardoso.
The Tondela manager Ayestarán Barandiarán has got the team scoring with 12 from 6 home games in the league. Tondela have conceded 12 goals in these home games, a significant number.
Paços de Ferreira form and stats
There's been little loot from Paços de Ferreira's travels as they have only collected 5 points from 6 away games in the Primeira Liga. Paços de Ferreira only have 1 win to counter their 3 defeats and 2 draws. Ferreira are desperate to end a ten-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Portimonense fixture.
Home advantage was not enough for Ferreira in their previous game, as they lost their Primeira Liga-match, hosting Gil Vicente, 0-1. Late heartbreak for Ferreira in the Gil Vicente match, as the deciding 0-1 goal came deep into overtime. The attacker Denílson got a match rating of 7.4 in that game. Denílson dribled past the opponent 3 of 3 times.
A loss against Vitória SC was the result prior to that, in a home game.The attacking power of Paços de Ferreira when travelling is not overwhelming with 4 goals scored from 6 league matches away. Paços de Ferreira's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 9 goals from these trips.
