Prediction: 1-1
Tondela
Estadio Antonio Coimbra da Mota will host Sunday’s football game between Estoril and Tondela, the two teams who sit in the opposite halves of the table. Estoril failed to win the previous seven league fixtures, meaning that they are desperate to give fans some cheer. Rui Fonte, who limped off with injury at the weekend, is a major doubt, while Arthur Gomes misses out through suspension.
Tondela, on the other hand, have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team losing to both Vizela and Benfica, while beating Portimonense. The visitors are eager to escape the relegation zone, but we do not believe that they are capable of grabbing more than one point from Sunday’s match. Both Rafael Barbosa and Neto Borges are banned for the visitors, while Jota Goncalves misses out with an ACL injury.
