Our prediction for this Portugal Primeira Liga match:
Estadio Nacional do Jamor will host Sunday’s Primeira Liga game between Belenenses and Tondela. O Belem are still eyeing their first win of the season, and they are likely to fight tooth and nail agaisnt the Yellow-Greens. New recruit Alisson Pelegrini Safira should continue to lead the line for the hosts after opening his goal-scoring account in a 2-2 draw with Ferreira, while Joao Vigario and Fernando Fonseca remain in the recovery room.
Tondela, on the other hand, did well to beat Famalicao 3-2 in their last league match, with the team putting an end to their five-game losing run. Belenenses, though, want this win more than Tondela, and seeing that the Auriverdes are not regarded as good travelers, we are tempted to put our money on the hosts. In thier last meeting in Primeira Liga Belenenses defeated Tondela 3-1.
