Tondela will hope to utilise their home advantage to help bridge the gap to today’s opponents. The home side are currently 5 points behind Sporting CP.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Primeira Liga. That game, against Paços de Ferreira, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Sporting CP.
Tondela form and stats
Tondela have collected 1 point from their Primeira Liga home games so far after 0-1-3. Tondela are very eager to stop a potential losing streak at Estadio Joao Cardoso, having lost their two previous games here.
Tondela's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-1 versus Benfica (placed 1st). Prior to that, an away loss at Feirense in the Taça De Portugal.
Tondela have scored 2 goals here in 4 league matches, a depressing statistic. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Tondela defense is not exactly impregnable. 6 goals conceded from 4 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Sporting CP form and stats
The visitors are W3-D2-L0 on the road this term. That's in the Primeira Liga. Momentum is building for Sporting CP in their away games, having won their two previous outings.
Two travels in a row for Sporting CP, whose manager Silas could celebrate last time after the Primeira Liga win against Paços de Ferreira. That result followed a home victory 3-1 versus Vitória Guimarães.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Sporting CP manager Silas as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Rosenborg.
Sporting CP are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 8 times in 5 away games so far. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (4 so far).
Head 2 Head
