The league table is allowed to rest as Tondela and Mafra battle for Taça De Portugal honors in this first Semi-finals leg of two fixtures.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Tondela form and stats
Tondela was eliminated in the 4th round last season in the Taça De Portugal.With 4 Primeira Liga wins, 0 draws and 8 defeats from their home games, Tondela are certainly not brimming with confidence.
Tondela faced defeat in their previous match, away at Famalicão (1-2). Midfielder Augusto was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.05 (out of ten) in that game. Augusto dribled past the opponent 3 of 3 times.
Preceding that match was a Primeira Liga defeat to Sporting Braga (0-1).The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams.
