Portimonense vs Tondela Predictions

• Tondela have avoided defeat in their last two away league games and five of their last seven in all competitions.
• Portimonense have failed to win eight of their ten home Primeira Liga games, including the last four.

Odds are too big on visitors to avoid defeat

Tondela are a talented team that haven’t always managed to get what they deserve on their travels, but they ought to get at least a draw at Portimonense this weekend.

The hosts are in shocking form, having failed to win any of their last seven games, and can lay claim to only two home league victories this term. Those came against rock-bottom Belenenses and struggling Santa Clara but they have failed to take any more than a point from several clashes with teams of a similar standing to Tondela.

So, given Tondela have avoided defeat in their last two away league games and five of their last seven in all competitions, we believe the shade of odds on about the visitors in the double chance market offers good value here.

Talented Tondela team need to keep their heads

The pressure is certainly mounting on the Auriverdes, who begin the weekend just one point off the relegation playoff place and three points better off than 17th-placed Arouca. There was an element of frenzy about their 3-2 home defeat against Vizela last week when a 90th-minute winner enabled the visitors to leapfrog them in the table.

Calm heads will be needed in the run in and that is certainly an area where Tondela need to improve – but they are capable of scoring against any team in the league and have the ability to deal a further blow to Portimonense’s fading hopes of bringing European football to the Algarve.

Our correct score fancy for the fixture is 1-1 because Portimonense, despite five home losses already this term, have not succumbed to a team below 12th place in the table and Tondela are currently 14th in the standings.
