On Friday night, Pacos de Ferreira host Tondela in the Portuguese Primeira Liga, as both sides look to move away from the relegation zone.
Pacos de Ferreira are currently 13th place in the Portuguese top-flight, just three points clear of the relegation zone. The home sides form has improved of late, as they have now suffered just one defeat in their last five league games.
However, that one defeat was last time out in a 3-2 defeat at Vitoria Guimaraes. The home side recent league games have been relatively high scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in eight of their last 11 outings.
Pacos De Ferreira’s recent home record is a mixed one. However, they are now unbeaten in three home games in the league, picking up two draws and a victory.
The home side have won just one of their last five meetings with Tondela. However, the last two meetings have finished in draws.
Tondela are currently 11th place in the Primeira Liga table. However, the visitors are just a point better off than their hosts.
The visitor’s recent form has been poor, as they have lost their last three league games while winning just one of their last five outings in the Portuguese top-flight.
Their most recent games have been high scoring in the league, with over 2.5 goals scored in three of their last four league games, including last time out when they suffered a 2-1 home defeat against Moreirense.
Tondela’s recent away form in the Portuguese top-flight has been mixed. However, they have lost four of their last six games on their travels in the league. Their recent away games have been low scoring, with seven of their last eight away games producing under 2.5 goals.
There is not much between these two teams in terms of league position, so it is unsurprising that Forebet predicts that this game will end all square.
