Sporting Braga to book their place in Europe against Tondela
CD Tondela vs Sporting Braga - 20/07/2020
2955
With just two rounds of games remaining in the Portuguese Primeira Liga, there is still plenty to play for. The title has been decided with Porto crowned champions. However, the battle for the last European place and survival are still alive.
Two teams involved in those particular battles meet on Monday night, as Tondela host Sporting Braga in a massive game.
The home side heads into this clash 17th place in the table. However, the fight for survival between Tondela and 16th place Portimonense is incredibly tight. The two teams are level on points and the head-to-head. The team from Portimao are ahead on away goals in the head-to-head meetings this season.
Tondela’s recent form has led to them slipping into the bottom two, as they are on a six-game winless run in the Primeira Liga, having suffered five defeats in the process.
A poor recent home record in the Portuguese top-flight has been pivotal in the team’s position in the table, as they have won just once in their last 11 games on home soil. They have also suffered three straight home defeats in the Primeira Liga.
While Tondela are looking to secure their top-flight status, Sporting Braga are looking to seal a spot in next seasons Europa League. The visitors are five points clear of fifth-place Famalicao and a win in this clash would secure continental football for Braga.
The visitors are unbeaten in their last six games in the Primeira Liga, having suffered just one defeat in their last six league outings. Those recent league games have been entertaining affairs, with over 3.5 goals scored in four of their previous five league matches.
Braga have not been great on their travels of late though, winning just one of their last four league matches on the road in the Primeira Liga.
Forebet predicts an away win in a high-scoring clash, which would be a great result for the visitors and could mean massive heartache for the home side.
