Tondela

WLLDLW

Tondela will be looking for a repeat result of a 0-1 Primeira Liga success against Gil Vicente.

In that match, Tondela had 35% possession and 5 shots on goal with 2 on target. The only player to score for Tondela was Maranhão (35'). At the other end, Gil Vicente had 16 shots at goal with 2 of them on target.

It’s been seldom in recent times that Tondela haven’t conceded. In fact, Tondela have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 games, leaking 10 goals in the process.

Pre-game facts show that Tondela:

• have left without a victory over Porto in their last 12 matches in the league.
• are without a home win in the past 6 league matches. That's never good.

Porto

WWDWWW 📈

Porto will come into the meeting following a 1-0 Primeira Liga win versus Estoril in their previous game.

In that match, Porto had 49% possession and 12 attempts at goal with 6 on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Porto was William (8'). On the other side, Estoril got 11 attempts on goal with 2 on target.

A sequence of accomplished displays from the Porto defensive unit has resulted in the number of goals they’ve conceded standing at 3 from their previous 6 fixtures overall. Over that same period of time, their forwards have scored 10. Let’s find out whether or not that trend will be sustained in this game.

👥 Head to head

Looking over past results between these clubs going back to 09/07/2020 reveals that these fixtures have not been kind to Tondela. They’ve not been able to get themselves any wins at all while Porto have remained in the ascendancy, finishing as winners in 100% of those games played.

There were also goals galore in those games, with 24 overall which averages out at 4 goals per meeting.

📰 Team News: Tondela

We think that Auriverdes may well line up in a 4-3-3 formation for this one and select Bernardo, Tiago Manso, Christian Marques, Brayan Medina, Nor Maviram, Juan Rodríguez, Sphephelo Sithole, Hugo Félix, Pedro Maranhão, Jordan Siebatcheu and Moudjatovic.

🗞️ Team News: Porto

We reckon that Dragões could decide to begin the game with a 4-3-3 formation by sending out Diogo Costa, Alberto Costa, Jan Bednarek, Jakub Kiwior, Francisco Moura, Victor Froholdt, Alan Varela, Rodrigo Mora, William Gomes, S. O. Aghehowa and Pepê.

🔮 Prediction

We’ve got the feeling that Porto can be able to score a couple when they meet Tondela, who might well find it difficult going scoring a goal of their own.

We can therefore see a fairly comfortable 0-2 win for Porto come full-time.
