Famalicao

vs

CD Tondela

Preview

Famalicao (home)

• Famalicao haven’t managed to beat Tondela in their home turf since their latest head-to-head meeting in the Primeira Liga, but Gustavo Sa’s men should take all 3 points this Sunday.
• Famalicao have endured a rough patch of form over the last 5 games, picking up a sole win against struggling Santa Clara (1-0) and 4 defeats, their only home loss in that period.
• They currently sit 7th in the Primeira Liga table with 26 points from 18 games, 14 more than their relegation-threatened opponents who are 17th with a mere 12 points.
• Hugo Oliveira has overseen this Famalicao team since December 2024 and has given them a clear identity, they play a possession-based, proactive, high-tempo style, pressing selectively and looking to play vertical soccer.

Tondela (away)

• Tondela are as reactive as Famalicao are proactive, they set up in compact shapes, play a slower game tempo and aren’t the most prolific pressers.
• Instead, they rely on their defensive discipline, patience in possession and ability to hit on the counter to pick up the points.
• Tondela are in poor form and have picked up 0 points from their last 2 away games; they’ve won 2 and lost 6 of their 9 away league games this season, averaging 0.67 scored and 1.89 conceded per away match.
• Tondela will desperately need a result this Sunday.

Head-to-Head

Key Players

• Sorriso is in form for the hosts, netting 2 of Famalicao’s last 3 goals, while Pedro Henryque has 3 goals in 18 league appearances for Tondela, often providing their sole outlet in attack.
• Gustavo Sa leads Famalicao’s scoring charts with 4 goals in 18 Primeira Liga appearances; the experienced striker has been a regular fixture in their starting lineup since Oliveira took over and has consistently been a threat up front.
