NACIONAL v TONDELA
Sunday 31st January 2016 – Kickoff: 1700hrs
Football – Portugal – Primeira Liga Betting Tips
Next up is a bottom half clash between hosts Nacional and Tondela in the Portuguese Primeira Liga with a valuable three points at stake for both teams.
Nacional have experienced some tough times of late as they’ve now gone eight league matches without a win, but this could all change this evening when they entertain bottom club Tondela who have managed just one away win all season.
Nacional’s home record stands at 3-3-3 13/13 which at first glance doesn’t appear to be too bad considering they’re currently fourth from bottom in the division. But they’ve lost three of their last four on home turf so they’ll be keen to turn things around here today.
Visitors Tondela head into tonight’s encounter having also lost three in their last four matches with defeats to Pacos de Ferreira, Academica and Boavista along with a draw against Sporting in a 2-2 draw away from home.
Tondela’s away record stands at a poor 1-2-6 8/14 which hasn’t helped in their cause to avoid relegation down to the Segunda Liga, and being eight points adrift of Academica and safety, the situation looks very bleak indeed for tonight’s visitors.
In addition, Tondela have failed to keep a single clean sheet on their travels so far which could also be a factor in deciding tonight’s outcome with the hosts looking to break out of their miserable run of form.
Pick: Nacional to win @ 1.62 Ladbrokes
