📏 Form Guide

Tondela

LWLLLL 📉

Tondela will be looking for an improved result here following the 0-3 Primeira Liga loss in their previous game against Gil Vicente.

In that match, Tondela managed 46% possession and 8 attempts on goal with 2 on target. Gil Vicente had 13 shots on goal with 6 on target. Murilo Souza (58'), Matheus Bueno (77') and Boubacar Hanne (93') scored for Gil Vicente.

It has not been often in recent times that Tondela have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. It will be a concern for them that Tondela have seen their defence breached in 6 of their previous 6 matches, giving up 15 goals during that time.

Their prior results show that Tondela:

• have left without a victory over Moreirense in home games against them for the last 2 matches in the league.
• are undefeated by Moreirense when playing them at home in the last 3 league matches.
• are without a win at home for the past 2 matches in the league.

Moreirense

DLDLLW

Moreirense go into this encounter following on from a 1-0 Primeira Liga win with the downing of Estoril in their last outing.

In that match, Moreirense managed 33% possession and 6 shots on goal with 3 of them on target. The scorer for Moreirense was Rafael Martins (27'). Estoril got 13 attempts on goal with 4 of them on target.

The numbers tell their own story, and Moreirense have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, seeing opposing sides hit 7 goals in total. In defence, Moreirense have some weaknesses to address. It will be interesting to see if that trend will be continued on in this game.

🗞️ Team News: Tondela

Eduardo Quaresma (Corona virus), Simone Muratore (Unknown Injury), Tiago Dantas (Corona virus) and Jota Gonçalves (Ruptured knee ligament) are unavailable for Tondela boss Pako Ayestarán.

We are thinking that Auriverdes should employ a 4-3-3 system featuring Babacar Niasse Mbaye, Bebeto, Ricardo Alves, Manu Hernando, Naoufel Khacef, Rafael Barbosa, João Pedro Machado, Iker Undabarrena, Jhon Murillo, Daniel dos Anjos and Salvador Agra.

📰 Team News: Moreirense

Thanks to a fully healthy squad available for selection, the Moreirense manager Lito Vidigal has no fitness concerns at all before this match.

It’s our belief that Os verdes e brancos seem most likely to make use of a 3-4-3 lineup, settling for Kewin, Artur Jorge, Steven Vitoria, Lazar Rosić, Paulinho, Nikola Jambor, Filipe Soares, Abdu Conte, Yan Santos, Rafael Martins and Walterson Silva.

🔮 Prediction

It’s looking like Moreirense and Tondela should both be able to find the back of the net here although it’s difficult to select a clear winner.

Let’s see what happens, but it could well be that we end up with scores level. We therefore see a hard-fought 1-1 score draw at the end of this game.
