Pacos Ferreira vs Tondela Predictions

Pacos Ferreira lost 1-0 away at Belenenses on Monday night and remain in the relegation places, two points adrift of safety. Tondela’s bright start to the new season continued last weekend when they beat Sporting CP 1-0 at home to move up into seventh place.

All of the stats suggest that a double chance bet on the visitors is the best way to go this Sunday and we have backed Tondela to claim a narrow 2-1 win.

Tondela haven’t lost any of their last six matches against Pacos Ferriera and have won three of the pairs’ last five league meetings. Both teams scored and over 2.5 goals were produced in three of the pairs’ last five encounters in the league, so you can see why we’ve backed a 2-1 win for the visitors this weekend.

The form of both teams this season and heading into Sunday’s clash add weight to our prediction for Tondela to avoid defeat, as Pacos Ferreira haven’t won any of their last three league games, two of which were at home, and are yet to win in their own backyard in the league this season, while Tondela haven’t lost away from home in the league this season, picking up three wins and two draws.

The performances of both teams during the last month or so provide reason to back a 2-1 win for Tondela this weekend, as both teams scored and over 2.5 goals were produced in three of Pacos Ferreira’s last five matches, all of which ended 2-1, and Tondela have conceded an average of one goal per game in their last three games on the road. The visitors sit ten points and ten places above their hosts in the Primeira Liga table and have outperformed their hosts in all departments so far this season.

We’re confident that a double chance bet on Tondela will payout this weekend and we have predicted a final scoreline of 2-1 in the visitor’s favour. Tondela head into the game having not lost on the road so far this season, while their hosts are yet to win in their own backyard. Three of Pacos Ferreira’s last five matches have ended 2-1 and they have only twice this season by more than one goal.
