Tondela to add to Setubal’s recent woes

On Tuesday night, Tondela host struggling Vitoria Setubal at the Estadio Joao Cardoso in the Portuguese Primeira Liga.

Tondela’s form has been inconsistent of late in the Primeira Liga. However, a victory in this clash would be enough to move the home side up to ninth in the Portuguese top-flight table.

The description of Tondela’s recent form in the Primeira Liga may have been an understatement, as they have won four and lost four of their last eight league outings. However, last time out they won 1-0 at Vitoria Guimaraes.

The home side’s home form has not been great of late in the Primeira Liga, as they have won just two of their last eight home games in the Portuguese top-flight.

Six of their last seven home games in the league have produced over 2.5 goals, so their home games have offered entertainment value. Part of the reason for the high scoring games is the fact that Tondela have conceded two or more goals in six of their last seven home games.

Vitoria Setubal are experiencing a nightmare campaign so far and currently sit rock bottom of the Primeira Liga. However, their form has shown signs of turning around in recent games, as the visitors are now unbeaten in three competitive games.

However, a record of six defeats in their last seven league outings will be a major concern. Last time out Jose Couceiro’s side drew 2-2 with fellow strugglers Estoril, to end a six-game losing run.

Like their hosts, Setubal’s recent league games have been high scoring with over 2.5 goals scored in six of their last seven outings in all competitions.

Understandably, the visitor’s away record in the Primeira Liga is also poor, as they have lost six of their last seven league games on their travels, including their last five.

Forebet predicts that Tondela will add to Vitoria Setubal’s woes this season by recording a victory in a high scoring encounter.
