Tondela Preview – Can Tondela cause upset?
Tondela will head into this Monday night’s fixture against high-flying Benfica in a more positive frame of mind having registered a 2-1 win away at Portimonense last time out in the Liga Portugal but despite returning to home surroundings, the hosts still face a tough task here.
Tondela have registered just two wins from their last nine matches overall in the Portuguese top flight with an earlier 2-1 home win over Moreirense but five defeats within this period suggest the hosts possess a soft underbelly.
In addition, Tondela have lost six of the last seven meetings against Benfica.
Benfica Preview – Can Benfica bounce back?
3rd placed Benfica were handed a disappointing 2-1 defeat at home to Gil Vicente last time out in the Liga Portugal so the visitors will be desperate to produce a response on Monday night when they travel to Tondela.
Benfica will also be keen to reduce the deficit behind 2nd placed Sporting Lisbon with a win here and having lost just three of their last 12 matches overall, Benfica stand a good chance of achieving just that.
The visitors have lost just one of their last 19 matches on the road, winning 15 of these games.
