Sporting CP vs Tondela Match preview

Sporting has lost just one of their last seven league fixtures, with each of their previous three victories coming without reply in ninety minutes. The hosts are one of just two sides that haven’t drawn a league game at home as they comprise 9 wins and 4 losses in their 13 attempts so far.

Tondela ended a six-game winless run in the league last time out at home against Aves with a 2-0 score on the board. However, that scoreline is just the first time Tondela had slotted in more than one goal within their last 13 fixtures.

The host has not lost to Tondela in any of their meetings at this venue since 2016. But the fact that three of their four unbeaten games were draws doesn’t suffice for an easy win. With the visitors in a poor form on the road lately, the Lions might just get away with all three points.

Sporting CP vs Tondela Prediction

Sporting possesses a 66.67% win rate as a league favorite this season. And at home, that percentage rise to 81.82% in the campaign. Hence, the host can probably be the rightful favorites in the clash.

Tondela boasts a win-draw rate of 61.54% in their away league games. Yet despite this, they have failed to score in four of their last six away league games showing lack of a finisher.

Having won all their recent five fixtures at home, the Lions will have a slight edge over Tondela who is winless for the past three outings in the campaign.

The home win in full-time will thus be a suitable option in the match. At 1.40 odds, it will yield decent returns for the punters. Besides, the host will probably slot in a couple of goals and the tip for Sporting to score over 1.5 goals will be a probability in ninety minutes.
