The Portuguese domestic season is also underway and our next preview features a clash between Tondela and Portimonense as the betting tips continue in the Primeira Liga at the Estádio João Cardoso.
Tondela Prediction – Can Tondela maintain hold over Portimonense?
A 0-0 draw away at Vitoria Setubal saw Monday night’s hosts, Tondela, pick up a useful point away from home at the Estádio do Bonfim as they opened their account in this new Primeira Liga campaign, and they’ll now return to home turf for this upcoming clash against Portimonense.
Overall recent results have seen Tondela go 7 matches without a win in all competitions but of these matches, 5 were pre-season friendlies while they did suffer a 1-0 defeat away from home at Penafiel in the Taca da Liga.
Although recent results haven’t been great, Tondela did finish last season’s Primeira Liga campaign in positive fashion at home as they won 3 of their last 4 matches of the season, picking up wins against tonight’s opponents, Portimonense, 3-2 at home along with victories over Boavista and Chaves in 1-0 and 5-2 wins respectively.
A 3-1 loss to Santa Clara spoiled what could have been a 4-match winning streak, but they’d already secured their top flight status for another season. Tondela also hold a good recent record against Portimonense at their Estádio João Cardoso as they’re unbeaten in their last 4 meetings at home against Monday night’s visitors.
Portimonense Prediction – Can Portimonense get anything at Tondela?
Monday night’s visitors, Portimonense, also started their new Primeira Liga season with a draw as they were held to a 0-0 stalemates by Belenenses at their Estádio Municipal de Portimão, but they’re unbeaten in their last two matches they’ve played.
A 2-0 home win against Academica in the domestic cup competition, Taca da Liga, was followed by last week’s point against Belenenses, but it may be worth noting that both of these recent results were recorded on home soil.
Overall results away from home have been less convincing as Portimonense have managed to register just 1 away win out of their last 10 matches on the road, and that was a 1-0 win at Porto B in a pre-season friendly.
In last season’s Primeira Liga, Portimonense finished up with a disappointing, if not poor, looking away record of 3-2-12 15/35 with the visitors also possessing the second worst defensive record on the road in the top flight behind relegated Nacional (51 goals conceded).
They also ended last term without an away win from their last 8 matches, losing 6 of these while keeping just 3 clean sheets on their travels as well.
Key-Facts – Tondela v Portimonense
- Tondela won 3 of their last 4 home matches last season in the Primeira Liga
