Tondela had an outing to forget in their last game as they fell 3-0 to Portimonense in the Primeira Liga and will be hoping to recover when they host league leaders Sporting. Placed 10th with 24 points, Tondela are just five points above the relegation zone and 34 points behind Sporting in the league standings. The hosts have managed just two clean sheets in their last 10 matches, conceding two or more goals in six of the 10 matches. They have four wins and six losses in the 10-game run across all competitions. In the Primeira Liga, Tondela have five wins and nine losses in their last 15 matches, and will be banking heavily on their improved home form going to this game. The team has won each of the last five home matches in the league, with three clean sheets. They’ve scored nine goals in the five home league matches and conceded only two.

Meanwhile, Sporting head to this game being the only side in the league yet to taste defeat and have an 11-game unbeaten run across all competitions. With a nine-point gap ahead of second placed Braga, there doesn’t seem to be any force to stop them from claiming the league title this season. They have the best defence in the league, having conceded just 11. In their last league game, they were headed for a draw with Santa Clara until Sebastian Coates scored a 90th minute goal for Sporting to win 2-1. That was the 11th of 15 league matches that the team scored two or more goals, and playing away from home, they’ve failed to score in just one of the last 11 in the league. In 11 away league matches Sporting have won nine, making them the best performing away side, with a winning rate of 82%. Out of a possible 33 away points, Sporting have gained 29.
