3635

This week sees the final round of fixtures in the group stage of the Taça da Liga in Portugal.

On the 15th of December we have a meeting between Académico Viseu FC and Tondela with the winner of the game booking themselves a place in the quarter final of the competition. The match will be played at the Estádio Municipal do Fontelo.

Académico Viseu FC come into the game on the back of a 3-2 home victory over Estoril in the Taça da Liga. Estoril opened the scoring after only 8 minutes and despite scoring the equaliser, Académico Viseu FC found themselves 2-1 down at the interval.

Académico Viseu FC equalised for the second time in the 69th minute and with Estoril down to ten men, scored the winner 7 minutes later.

That result means Académico Viseu FC are undefeated in each of their last 13 fixtures in all competitions. They have won 9 of those 13 games and have won each of their 4 most recent matches, with the wins coming in the Segunda Division, Taça da Portugal, and Taça da Liga.

However, in terms of the Taça da Liga, Académico Viseu FC have recorded just a single victory from their last 9 matches.

Home form in the Taça da Liga shows they are difficult to beat and Académico Viseu FC have lost only 1 of their 5 league cup games on home soil.

Tondela make the trip to the Estádio Municipal do Fontelo having been held to a 0-0 draw at Famalicão in the Taça da Liga last time out. Tondela were happy to come away with a point from the match having had a player sent off after only 15 minutes.

That result means Tondela are undefeated in their 4 most recent matches, 3 of which have come in the Taça da Liga. Tondela are undefeated in the Taça da Liga this season but they have failed to win a match, drawing all 3 of their fixtures.

They have been held to a 0-0 draw at home by Estoril and a 1-1 draw by Torreense.

Away form shows Tondela have not been easy to beat in recent away fixtures. They are undefeated in 8 of their last 9 away matches in all competitions but have failed to win any of their last 5 games on the road.

Team news and Académico Viseu FC are set to go with the same starting XI from the win over Estoril. The Honduran and Argentine duo of Jonathan Toro and Ricardo Ramírez will start in attack.

Tondela will be without suspended midfielder Telmo Arcanjo following his sending off in the previous game. Bruno Santos could start in defence.

Tondela have not been winning any matches in the Taça da Liga this season but they have proven tough to beat. We expect that sequence to continue in this game and the match could end level, with under 2.5 goals scored.
