Tondela vs Boavista Predictions

• The last 6 meetings between these two clubs have produced under 2.5 goals.
• 4 of Tondela’s last 6 matches have produced under 2.5 goals.
• 5 of Boavista’s last 6 matches have produced under 2.5 goals.
• Tondela have failed to score in 3 of their last 6 matches and Boavista have kept clean sheets in 3 of their last 6 outings.

Tondela don’t win many games at home

Tondela lost 2-0 away at Vitoria Guimaraes last weekend while Boasvista went down 1-0 in their own backyard against Gil Vicente, meaning that the gap between the two clubs remains at 4pts heading into Saturday’s latest encounter. Both clubs will be looking to end their 3-game losing streaks this weekend and we’re expecting a tight and tense ninety minutes between the pair.

The last six meetings between Tondela and Boavista have all produced under 2.5 goals, as have four of the hosts’ and five of the visitors’ last six league games, so you can see why we have backed under 2.5 goals to be scored on Saturday. The last two encounters between the pair have ended goalless, a friendly back in July and then the duos’ first league meeting of the campaign just two months later.

Tondela have only won once at home so far this season, drawing four times and losing the remaining six, while Boavista have picked up points in seven of their eleven away games in the Primeira Liga. The hosts average 0.64 points per home game while the visitors average 1.36 points per away game, and we have backed the pair to play out a draw this weekend.

Both teams are guilty of not scoring enough goals this season

The hosts score an average of just 0.55 goals per home game and the visitors score an average of 0.64 goals per away game, so you can start to see why we have backed a 0-0 draw between the two clubs. 64% of Tondela’s home games and 73% of Boavista’s away games have produced under 2.5 goals this season, and only 45% of the hosts’ home matches and 27% of the visitors away trips have seen both teams score.

Tondela have kept clean sheets in 27% of their home games and have failed to score in 45% while Boavista have kept clean sheets in 36% of their away games and have failed to score in 45%, adding further weight to our prediction for a goalless draw on Saturday. 0-goals have been scored in 18% of the hosts home matches as well as in 9% of the visitors away games, so both teams have played out 0-0 draws already this season.

We’re confident that under 2.5 goals will be produced in Saturday’s match and we have predicted a final scoreline of 0-0. The seasons’ stats of both of these clubs suggests that a 0-0 draw could well be on the cards this weekend and with both teams in the midst of losing streaks and both either failing to score or keeping clean sheets in the majority of their last six matches, we’re expecting another tight, tense, and goal-shy ninety minutes this Saturday.
