Tondela
- Tondela have drawn their last two home matches.
- These two sides are in a dead heat in the Portuguese League 2025/2026 standings with both sitting on 18 points apiece after 23 matches, placed 16th and 17th respectively.
- The Auriverdes will need to find some more sources of goals in this relegation dogfight, however, having conceded 14 goals in 11 home league matches.
Santa Clara
- Santa Clara are without a win in their last three away matches (1-4-6).
- The visitors come into this matchup with four defeats and a draw in their last five.
Head-to-Head
Tondela last beat Santa Clara 2-1 away in the Primeira Liga 2025/2026 five months ago, but failed to win in their previous home matchup, so there could be an upset on the cards.
Key Players
- Pedro Henryque’s purple patch has been the only creative spark for The Tondela recently and the top scorer in the team with six goals in 23 Primeira Liga matches and has scored three of his side’s last five goals.
- Vinicius is the top goalscorer for the visitors with five goals in 19 league appearances, but he is a much-needed target for Petit’s side, who have scored just eight times in 11 away league matches, an average of 0.73 goals per game.
Betting Insights
Santa Clara are the slight favourites at 2.38 , with Tondela priced at 3.25 and the draw at 2.92 , but the visitors come into this matchup with four defeats and a draw in their last five.
