Benfica Preview – Can Benfica keep up pressure?
3rd placed Benfica are another side hoping to reduce the deficit on the current Primeira Liga leaders, Sporting CP, as Friday night’s hosts welcome lowly Tondela to their Estádio do Sport Lisboa e Benfica having won four of their last five matches.
Benfica have previously recorded wins against Maritimo, Pacos Ferreira, Gil Vicente and Portimonense and although they were held to a 1-1 draw away from home at Santa Clara last time out, the hosts hold a good winning record at home in recent times.
Benfica have won eight out of their last nine matches on home soil in the Portuguese top flight and the hosts have also been winning at half-time in four of their six home matches to date this term also.
Tondela Preview – Can Tondela pull further away?
A 1-0 home win against Famalicao last time out in the Portuguese top flight ended a miserable run of four matches without a win in the Primeira Liga for Friday’s visitors, Tondela, and they’ll be looking to pull further away from the relegation zone when they travel to Lisbon for this clash against Benfica.
However, three defeats out of their last four matches suggest this could be easier said than done for Tondela who have slipped to recent losses against Vitoria Guimaraes, Porto and Nacional, while the majority of their points this season have been achieved on home turf at their Estádio João Cardoso.
Results away from home have been poor as Tondela have managed to win just one of their last 12 matches on their travels while failing to score in six of these 12 matches along with keeping just one clean sheet.
