Tondela host Benfica on Match day twenty one of the Portuguese Primeira Liga at the Estadio Jao Cardoso. The hosts are placed at fourteenth place in the league standings with twenty points from as many matches while the visitors find themselves challenging for the European places at third with forty-four points from their twenty games so far. Tondela come into the game with an impressive away win at Portimonense with a 2-1 scoreline. They have been conceding regular goals throughout the season and thus have no clean sheets in their last twelve consecutive Portuguese Primeira Liga matches. Tondela have been playing high scoring matches at their backyard as well, mostly due to a highly unstable defensive display. Nine out of the last ten home matches at Tondela have had over 2.5 goals.

Benfica come into the game with a 2-1 defeat against Gil Vicente at home. They are now on a two-game losing streak after their Taca de Portugal loss to Sporting. Benfica have displayed a lack of stability in defense in their last few matches which has resulted in the lack of clean sheets in their last three consecutive matches. They have been playing quite a few high scoring matches on the road as well. Five out of Benfica’s last six away matches have had over 2.5 goals. Coupled with the lack of defensive stability at Tondela, it is almost a certainty that the fixture will consist of considerable goals.
