Tondela form and stats

4 victories, 0 draws and 5 defeats. That’s what Tondela have to build on here at Estádio João Cardoso in the Primeira Liga.

Tondela shared the glory with Santa Clara in their last match, an away game that ended all square 2-2. There was plenty of action in the dying minutes of the game against Santa Clara as Boselli's goal in the 88th minute completed a cancellation of 0-2 and secured a draw after 90 minutes. Tondela's goalie Trigueira played a big part in securing a draw after 90 minutes against Santa Clara with a stunning eight saves. No victory last time out for Tondela, but the draw 2-2 felt nice for Boselli who came on as a substitute in the 59th minute and scored two goals. The goalie Trigueira was named most valuable player of the team in that game, scoring 7.95 out of ten. Trigueira stopped the opponent with eight saves.

Before that match, a Taça De Portugal win away at Rio Ave (after extra-time).

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 nine matches with the results: Won two, drawn five and lost two.

A decent goal production from Tondela in their home games so far, with 14 goals from 9 league matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Tondela defense is not exactly impregnable. 17 goals conceded from 9 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
